You're conflating two different things: the inclusion of price as a factor in medical decision-making, and hospitals' refusing to provide needed care to people

You're conflating two different things: the inclusion of price as a factor in medical decision-making, and hospitals' refusing to provide needed care to people who cannot pay.
The former, I agree, is a real problem (as I have now said repeatedly). The latter is generally a myth perpetuated by irresponsible people who want to score cheap points in the healthcare policy debate.
