A hospital's price for services is not what is paid. Government through Medicare and Medicaid sets contractural rates for reimbursement. Commercial payors, and even self pay folks pay similar.

That said, hospital financial management have developed computer algorithms to bundle and unbundle charges and diagnosis to maximize payment for services. There is no free market in healthcare.

Trump’s requirement that hospitals publish rates was a step in the right direction that got erased immediately after the steal.
