This is very interesting, thanks for sharing. Although this does list prices, it seems to me that these are mandated/set prices, and not necessarily reflective of the true cost of the care provided. Unless... these prices are set with the goal to reach at least a break-even on any care provided? I suppose the overall health system has to break-even, unless it's running a deficit, but I honestly have no idea how that corresponds to the listed prices.

Apologies if I'm way off on this, I'm by no means an expert or have much experience/knowledge on this topic, but attempting to make some sense of it for comparison.
