Funny how everybody began to downvote me after totally misunderstanding my point in muddled fashion.
I wasn't talking about hospitals going private - after all, there are private hospitals in Europe and the UK too. I was talking about poor price transparency in the US being adopted in all of those places by private players. I specifically called out government players in the US, since they engage in the same practice, while government hospitals in all of those countries do not.
