I think that's true when they can tell the difference. But a lot of times, the doctor is just "go get an MRI, and hey, why don't you go to the place in our building". The price will be 3x higher than the place down the street, but the patient doesn't know that or care. Now, some insurers do indeed have strict in-network requirements, where they approve each place and how it provides care, and that can be a reasonable solution to this problem, but patients hate it, so many of them don't do it, and instead absorb this cost. > You want to improve healthcare? Fix drug prices, fix the adversarial model between insurers and providers What does 'fix drug prices' mean though? And why would 'fixing the adversarial model between insurers and providers' help things? In every other setting, adversarial models push costs down. These seem more like aspirations than solutions.
