0-care is unsustainable and over the long run, even if implemented to some degree. The price controls alone will result in ever increasing provider attrition. Some providers will go to cash only practices, and while others will migrate over to hospital systems as employees, where they will be less productive. Hospitals too will be starved of cash by low reimbursements which will lead to less care and longer waits. As patients find that they cannot receive timely and quality care, they will increasingly seek out private, self pay care. Prices and quality in the self pay, private sector may indeed be so good, that hospitals and insurance companies will seek to make separate contracts with these entities to boost efficiency and lower costs.
