My response below to an interesting observation from the great Dr. Sachin Jain. What’s your point of view? There is big money in healthcare. That attracts financially-minded interests to participate (exploit?), who treat it like any other industry sector. This trend misses two blatant but often overlooked tenets of the healthcare ecosystem: 1) The traditional economic rules don’t apply. Price doesn’t matter. Customer satisfaction is not a driver of consumer, or supplier, behavior. Supply and demand don’t govern availability, assortment, or value (e.g., behavioral health). 2) The most basic unit of transaction in healthcare is care, not money. The ethos of care, and actual experience of being cared for, are foundational to the patient and family. However, this is not modeled nor valued in any financial or other metric of monetization, and creates a growing disconnect in desired outcomes from this industry.

Healthcare has learned to value corporate fundraising and financial outcomes as proxy measures for clinical sucess and impact. I see someone engage in this false equivalence every single day. While financial success and sustainability are important - they are not the same thing as clinical impact (particularly in a distorted market like healthcare). When and how did this happen? I have my thoughts but I’m eager for some fresh thinking on this.

The main reason to support pricing transparency is that it removes the need to explain your products or services when a patient gets a bill. This assurance is crucial for building trust and confidence in the healthcare system, guaranteeing a more secure and transparent future for everyone.
