These price lists look like "malicious compliance."
Based on the quality of published data, one could rank hospitals in order of probable honesty. Crowd sourcing estimated bills based on price data vs. actual bills would provide another metric.
If we in tech treated hospitals as being engaged in predatory wealth destruction, we could probably make a dent in the harm they cause. The most authoritative data could come from medical bill debts in collection, with signals in regard to how likely a given hospital is to make an egregious claim.
