And who is dealing with the hospital fees? You need some organization to do this, this is how it works everywhere.

You are aware this currently already happens with Medicare and Medicaid correct?

No, I live in EU, not in US. This is why I ask questions, because I don't know the answers.

The problem is the Medicare / Medicaid rates are not currently enough to sustain the hospitals.

Last I checked, governments are still organizations?

I live in Europe, I dealt with the health care system. Governments here do not manage health care, they have organizations doing that. In my country (Romania), it is called National Health Insurer. Public institution, but it is an insurer - this is what I said. We also have private ones. Yes, Romania is part of the European Union and it has a system that exists in other countries in EU.
