Who controls the prices hospitals and doctors are paid? It’s not consumers. It’s not you. Its someone else.
Price controls govern 92% of all American health care. There are no price controls on the remaining 8%.
54.5% of Americans get their health insurance through their employers while 39.5% get theirs through public and private insurance. Strict price controls govern both.
Managed care contracts (PPO, HMO, EPO) crafted by insurance companies and third party intermediaries set pricing for 54.5% of Americans while government bureaucrats set pricing for 39.5% of Americans.
There is no free market in American health care. Consumers have no voice. They don’t have a seat at the table.
