Healthcare pricing in the U.S. is out of control — not because of patients or providers, but because big hospital systems and private-equity groups negotiate huge rates while small clinics are paid pennies.
Same service. Same CPT code. But totally different prices.
This is killing independent practices and driving costs through the roof.
Solution? A national fee schedule with small ZIP-code adjustments.
✔ One fair national base rate
✔ Small geographic modifiers for real local costs
✔ No inflated prices for corporate giants
✔ Fair pay for small providers
✔ Lower costs for patients
If we want a system built on fairness instead of financial engineering, we need to level the playing field.
Equal work = equal reimbursement.
It’s time to fix healthcare pricing in America.
