It would be better if it actually was an open market like Japans medical system. They cap the profits on materials and treatment. They also have to list prices so you can actually compare and contrast the costs of treatment. Insurance companies are now the backbone of the US medical system, even owning and operating entire medical providers. Their business model is to maximize profits and deny care wherever possible. It’ll be difficult to dismantle that relationship now.
