And where I'm from the state health organisation where everyone is insured sets the prices for all the procedures. If hostpitals want to get paid by them, then these are the prices they will be paid. It works, it's simple. Prices are adjusted based as time goes by, the hospitals make a small profit, but they are mostly non-profits run by the cities or universities.
- sircastor 5y agoThis is how Medicare works in the United States. The group sets the price and that’s what Medicare pays. I recall a few years ago hearing about a company that, instead of getting a health insurance plan, hired a law firm to counter-negotiate (through legal threats) all bills down to Medicare prices, which apparently saved money.
