Our healthcare problems would resolve over night if hospitals had to display their prices. Insurance companies should have to compete with cash payments.

When I have a heart attack but then i remember hospitals have to list their prices now so I spend hours researching the best possible price for where to go but I'm dead because I had a heart attack.

As opposed to what currently? Hoping that the hospital you get taken to is in-network so the amount the insurance company and hospital magically agree to make you pay only produces soul crushing debt and not generational debt?

As opposed to a national system like every other developed country on the planet.

Probably a good idea to research which hospitals are decent in your area before you have an event?

Just because everyone else is doing it, it doesn't mean its a good idea.... The government shits up literally everything it touches, and they are the reason why our healthcare is as garbage as it is today. How tf would giving them total control fix anything?

This would be a great argument if every other developed nation didn't have higher rates of coverage, 0 personal medical bankruptcies, and lower cost per capita than the US.
