I don't understand how this helps hospital management once it enters the feedback loop. It does incentivize them to not get there in the first place, but I bet when you analyze the tradeoffs they make to forestall it you won't be happy either.
This is especially a problem is when you have a lone hospital serving a poor area. The patients don't have money, maybe they don't have insurance. If the hospital starts cranking out bad results, it'll just deteriorate.
The market model only kinda works in theory for wealthy populations with multiple hospitals nearby.
