and in a free market healthcare system

Your hospital bill isn't fixed

there would be companies showing their prices

and everyone would follow

neither is airfaire

The prices vary on the operation or prescription.

Thats a Big "If"

Fixing the price for your hospital bill isn't easy

If something strange happens, then you'll have to pay more

"something strange"

But it's gotten to a point where they charge higher for ridiculous things

Yeah, something strange

My mom literally got some bills from the hospital about her foot. And she dumbed down the price from 95$ to 25$. The hospital tried to be a bit scummy. But she found errors and accomplished that.

Because we are not in a free market

dude

it's lke that because there is regulations being added every year

Prices have been rising since the 60s

And most people can't down the price like your mom can

Anon what is your point you are trying to prove

I'm saying that hospitals will still charge high no matter how free the market is

Yes

Because they are literally saving your life

They can charge what ever the fuck they want

It is a private buisness

Like most hospitals

Is that right?

Is that moral?

Yes

Its a buisness

Business sells shit

They can sell it for whatever they want

@Anon365 Because

there isn't

a free market

But the consumers don't know the price

you keep pointing to US has the evidence

it is not a free market

They're uncertain about it

Why would the companies fix the price if their profit will be still high?

Under free healthcare, hospitals won't be able to cripple you in debt

The reason why they don't know the price of hospital bills, is because it is measured by condition, treatment, and resources used.
