One of the best rules for US hospitals (other than universal care) would be for all hospitals to publish prices annually and charge one set price, be it a walk in patient or large union.
This should be a reasonable rule if people want to keep capitalist system healthcare. Its not stopping them competing, only applying a transparent and level playing field to the market.
Yep, transparency and charging all patients the same should be regulated. Then it barely matters if the system is private or public, because it would be so cheap that even the uninsured wouldn't go bankrupt from a surgery.
