Here's an idea: consumers SHALL NEVER be charged more for any line item on a hospital, doctor, urgent care, ER or other medical-related bill than the lowest price paid to any insurance company over the last 12 months.

There is no reason that insurance companies should have any more bargaining power than the general public.

Hospital bills are wild, and then they do their voodoo accounting afterwards. My hospital bill after brain surgery was nearly $1,000,000. I think I paid maybe 3 or 4k in the end.
