I prefer a system of Medicare pricing multipliers.

Instead of a thick chargemaster, one number per provider.

If Medicare would pay a hospital $12,000 for something and the hospital posted a 1.5 multiplier, the non-federal program patient charge would be $18,000.

Preferring to subsidize govt. apparatchiks such as yourself over private citizens, I see.
