Another great great example of Republican capitalist health care:

actually if you cant sell across state lines there is no competition and prices sky rocket. Do you get it now?

Competition between insurers has nothing to do with competition between imaging centers, particularly if you're suggesting pricing at levels way below cost-sharing limits. McCarran-Ferguson has absolutely nothing to with your OP. Do you understand now?

insurance companies pay the bills if prices are cut by 80% they go bankrupt. Do you understand?

I'm beginning to think you don't know the difference between providers and insurers.

insurance pays the bills and they do not want a $28 MRI. Do you grasp this? They make far more on a $
3000 Tesla scan than a
$28 scan. Do you grasp this now??

Do you know what a deductible is?

How much does your imaginary used basement MRI center charge? Oh right, nothing. Because it doesn't exist.

almost nothing exists in American health care that is not part of the socialist system that charges about 5 times what it should


MRI scans in Bangalore @ Rs.2999/-

deductible's help but not enough to bend the cost curve is a hugely socialist system. Makes sense now?

Do you know what a deductible is? Why is it you think insurers would be paying for $28 MRIs?

Not if they're $28. But then you still don't seem to have figured out why they aren't $28.

Meanwhile, here on Planet Earth, the biggest insurer in Massachusetts will pay you to go to the cheapest provider in its network, including for imaging. Do you understand why?

because liberals made capitalist competition illegal obviously

Too bad McCurran Ferguson made competition illegal and their network is tiny with no real price competition. Want to keep trying?

McCarran-Ferguson doesn't influence their provider network! Ugh.

actually dear in limits the size of network so that there is no price competition

actually McCurran severely limited price competition in the USA in health care so MRI's cost $2500 rather than $100. Now you see in a nutshell how liberals drive up the cost of health care, and what liberals did in the USSR and many other countries to impoverish and eventually starve 120 million to death. Its a cancer that will not die
