This is the same thing medical providers and drug companies do. It’s price discrimination all the way down.

I often what would happen if medical providers (doctors, drugs, etc.) were REQUIRED to have standard rates published that didn’t fluctuate by insurance network or type of insurance plan.

Hospitals would not get paid enough and many would go broke.

Now if you coupled this with a single payer then it could work.
