They can&#x27;t do it.<p>They change less than cost for medicare and medicaid patients. The only way to make it up is charge more than cost for those with better health plans.<p>Forcing them to show prices would make that impossible.<p>They would have to charge cost for everyone - but that would cause the US government to pay probably double in health costs, no one would go for it.<p>So we are left with a sort of hidden tax on anyone with a private health plan.
