Germany too has large businesses providing health care and mucho government. When I had my tonsils removed a few years ago, a €>1b/y organisation did the knifework, another organisation with an even bigger budget paid, and neither of them set the rates.

So why does this combination work in Germany and fail so spectacularly in the US?
