Not exactly. Insurance typically negotiates paying a small fraction of the price that cash customers pay.
Medicare has long had a law effectively saying "you must offer Medicare the cheapest price you offer anyone". I wonder how much of an impact it would have on the affordability of care if there were a law saying "you must offer cash customers the cheapest price you offer anyone"?
