The problem is that the patient doesn't know what the right price is, and what the difference in products will be when going to a competing lower price offer. It's fine to try out a competing smartphone at a lower price point; I would not want to gamble with my health that way.

This is why there are regulations to ensure a minimum standard of care. Above that, the provider is the one who has to convince the patient that their service provides some benefit over the lowest cost provider.
