Do you think healthcare providers could get away with such crazy prices if they had to negotiate with the government, instead of some insurance giant which in turn is bilking some corporation?

Perhaps a better question for Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon? It's not like the US Government has some strong history of excellent price negotiation.

Well United Healthcare has more insured members (40M) than Canada does total people (36M). Yet Canada has lower prices. Why do you think that is?

If anything, I'd say prices would get even crazier. Pfizer alone has almost a hundred lobbyists on payroll in DC.

And they sure are fighting hard against having to negotiate with the government.
