It has to come from regulation at congressional levels. Value pricing, laws against dr reimbursement, & giving ICER the legal ability to do that would help. But also ICER is entrenched with gerrymandering & lobbyists so we need to set laws at all levels preventing gifts and favors. Then rework ICER. It can be done but we have to think about the necessary steps at all points in the process to get us from A to B. Far too many are getting bogged down in the details, making it seem impossible

They'd hide their profits through their operational expenses and ask for government subsidies. We need to get rid of the intermediaries and takle the cost to see meaningful change. Many countries with universal healthcare still have private insurance, some (not all) are non-profitl, but they never have the power they have here

Nothing. Many hospitals are still NPO via some religious sect. Many nursing homes are NPO. And each are part of the problem.

Wouldn’t change at all. They’d still just be rent-seeking parasites that add no real value as middlemen.
