I don't see how it can work in a free market system. Every dollar of profit means that someone was charged too much for their health care or didn't receive the best treatment. The result in this is that people die or suffer more than necessary. To those with enough money, this is often not a problem. To those without enough money, it is a big problem. It makes me nervous that the doctor and the hospital have confirmed my insurance and where I work everytime that I have gone in for treatment. I know that the insurance is necessary for billing which makes me wonder if I would be refused treatment if I didn't have any. As far as place of work (They also know my occupation as I had to write that down before.), I often wonder if that is a measure of my ability to pay as well. It makes me wonder if my treatment is contigent on that and what would have happened if I wrote down Walmart. I also wonder if I have gotten better treament since I paid one of my hospital bills with a platinum credit card. Is it even safe to be deliquent on a medical bill if you should need care again?
