It's not really backwards though.
There is nothing to stop a non-profit hospital from being as efficient as a for-profit one.
In that situation the non-profit will always be less expensive as the for-profit one unless the investors are willing to take a 0% return on their equity.
When it comes to what the market is willing to pay, what will a man that is about to die be willing to pay to be cured? Quite a lot I guess so there is nothing really to stop price gauging if the patient is paying for it directly.

NASA never even thought about having a rocket return. SpaceX/Blue Origin, that was the first thing they thought of "how do we reduce cost over time, this is wasteful"
- motiw 9y agoThe solution could be a government lower cost alternative to the private health care so they can keep each other in control. Same as us post office does for ups and fedex
- nhumrich 9y agoI actually really like that idea.
- greglindahl 9y agoNASA has had several concepts for having a rocket return, and DCX is an example of a test vehicle that actually flew.
