I don’t necessarily want to standardize care, I want to standardize pricing. Of course there will always be minute variations in a procedure, but the law is not an algorithm. You can have different levels of materials with different prices, but two people still need to see the same price if they choose the same thing, or substantially the same thing. Of course some people will game the system trying to make infinite variations, but at least that one apply to common blood tests and office visits, MRIs, X-rays, plenty of stuff is standardized. So what you are describing sounds a step beyond what I am thinking, which is just a standard published price list which is actually the price, and not a published book price which is an absurd ripoff, and then a secret price which everyone with insurance x, y, or z pays.
