I'm not so sure. There's a lot of waste in all of our health care system, and many areas are served by few care providers. Transparency on prices without effective competition won't change much.

You have to start somewhere. Knowable prices are the first prerequisite for markets.

That's an excellent point! It can't hurt, and might help. I don't know why I felt negatively about it at first, anything to start disrupting the bad parts of the system should be welcome.
