Not sure how that will be helpful if you are in the middle of a heart attack though.

  It will by means of fostering competition.

  True, but emergency care is a much smaller portion of medical spending than many people realize: https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2013/oct/28/nick-gillespie/does-emergency-care-account-just-2-percent-all-hea/ https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2013/oct...

    That's emergency room care, but it's not like you're going to be shopping for care for most care provided in admissions from ER either (especially, e.g., ER -> ICU admissions.)

  Still useful for other non-emergency cases. And also, you could pre-choose the hospital when you're healthy!

  Maybe if the apps get good enough you just hit a button and it auto calls the cheapest hospital after a bidding war :)
