US healthcare is a market but not for patients. Insurance, employers and hospitals negotiate a lot. But people who get employer based insurance just have to accept what they are given. Pretty crazy.

Don’t most large employers essentially self insure? They only outsource the administration to insurance companies, not the float.

Sure. The point is that the employer does all the selecting of options and the patient/employer has to take what the employer chose. No market for the patient.
