This is a good first step.
The second step being setting caps on what health care providers can charge to those who are uninsured, or for which a particular insurer won't cover.
Instead of some ridiculous number that no one actually pays, they should only be able to charge the uninsured a maximum which is the average of what they actually receive.
If they receive, on average, $850 for an MRI then that should be the most they are legally allowed to charge someone who is uninsured. Clearly it's still profitable for them to do so at this price point, and it doesn't bankrupt the individual.
