Yes, most private hospitals have this model in India where the same surgeons treat the highest paying and the lowest paying patients. However, the price difference between the base pricing across these hospitals vary a lot and you tend to go looking for that famous surgeon who practices in a hospital where everything is more expensive (Narayana Health and a few others may be an exception). Also, the other aspect of the airline industry which we should get in hospitals is sharing of best practices. The protocols and procedures which can be effective in saving lives should not be a differentiator, instead it should be standardised and made mandatory. The differentiators should be non-medical as much as possible. Of course, only the wealthy hospitals may be able to afford the latest equipments but the expertise of the medical staff and best practices are easily transferrable in a cheap way and shouldn't be guarded like an individual's or the organisation's IP
