Sure but the point is, they wouldn't have to pay for the insurance, lawyers, and charge you for all the extra tests and procedures (the "BS") if it weren't so easy for scumbags to sue for everything they felt like.
At the moment there is not enough pushback from the citizenry on the doctors to lower prices, one reason being a lack of a target. Now a citizen can look at a hospitals “menu” and create public pressure over certain outrageous prices.
What Trump did with this will be a big win long term. Initially, there will be some chaos, but once hospitals and insurance companies can no longer play games with what things actually costs, a chunk of the fraud, overcharging, waste and paperwork overhead can be cut out.
Things like $4,200 in testing to make sure a patient really needs $1,800 in treatment, because insurance companies don't want to pay out. Things like fake charging $6,500 on paper for a treatment protocol when the cost is really $2,100 but some insurance companies pay more or less than that and the hospital has to eat the costs for some patients while making extra money from others.
And who exactly works day in and day out with the hospitals? The doctors do, not the patients. Patients apply pressure to doctors, doctors then are incentivized to apply force to the hospitals and the malpractice lawyers.
If you don’t like it, then work for a new hospital or work with other doctors to form your own lower cost practice. Pitchfork will not be put away, you jackass.
After Obamacare, private practice doesn’t exist anymore. One of the main reasons, health care costs have sky-rocketed recently. Now, doctors work for the hospitals and our treated just like normal employees. Similar to what happened to engineers 20-40 years ago.
And they rig the law so even in a short sell (more debt than equity) the lawyers get paid first and fully, everyone else divvys up percents on the dollar.

Doctors don't set prices- the hospitals they work in do, as well as insurance companies. So put your pitchforks away...

Go on youtube to learn how to remove that brain tumor yourself. Maybe you can use that pitchfork as a hemostat.

It’s not the doctors who determine the price. It’s the hospital administrators.
EXACTLY!!! TORT REFORM!!! Lawyers are ruining our healthcare system!!
