Agreed. Between that and Medicare's "non-transparent" jiggling with the variables to get an even lower "median" price, it's just government reverse-price-gouging.

I agree that there's a lot of bloat and the health care industry could use some price-correcting competativeness. This is just not the way to do it.

It is truly competition but it is competing for the wrong prize.
