I would imagine regulation is a lot of what stops competing on price like everything else.

  > I would imagine regulation is a lot of what stops competing on price like everything else. Say again? Unconscious people don't have the agency to make price competition work, regulation or no. You need to be conscious to comparison shop. You also need lots of time to do so, time you don't have when you're having a heart attack or bleeding out from a severe injury. Regulation isn't the problem here, it's the lack of the right kind of it.

    Being conscious or not has little to do with inability to comparison shop for healthcare in general. I wouldn't disagree that what you're talking about should be illegal and I would expect it to already be illegal.
