You might be interested in the below podcast if you haven't already heard it:

Entrepreneur and Anesthesiologist Keith Smith of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma talks with host Russ Roberts about what it's like to run a surgery center that posts prices on the internet and that does not take insurance. Along the way, he discusses the distortions in the market for health care and how a real market for health care might function if government took a smaller role.

It was and I've gone back and relistened to it because it is such an important topic--this whole thread is people opining on how things are bad and how this and that should change--that Oklahoma anesthesiologist is going out there and doing something about the problems he saw in the economic model of medicine.

Edit: anesthesiologist replaced surgeon
