My understanding is this is our medical system:

The insurance companies negotiate with the hospitals to lower the cost of things, the more customers the insurance companies have, the lower they can get the prices.

But to make it so the hospitals dont have to pay a "negotiated price" and instead pay the price they would ask for something without negotiation... they tack on huge $ amounts to their costs.

Then the insurance companies negotiate to lower the price and end up only getting rid of what the hospital tacked on and they end up paying what we would be paying if we didnt have insurance negotiating, or competition. Just what the hospital wanted from the get go.

(So to be loud and clear, this negotiation is a lie and literally has a net positive effect on all costs - 110% win for the hospitals - free money for insurance companies - higher prices for the patients)

This country needs an enema. Where's Roby when you need him! GET TO WORK!
