Trivially disproven by UK's health care system, which consistently ranks #1 in the world by outcomes and employs price caps for health care suppliers.

That's not what I suggested in my post at all.

Also, if it reduces costs for the end consumer, what's the harm? Why should consumers subsidize hospitals with cutthroat billing departments who make up numbers out of thin air?
