Subject: Re: Trump To Allow Crypto In 401K's...
It doesn't matter that the amount is set by the insurance company contract or Medicare or the EU country's Health Ministry.

It does matter, for a very simple reason. The doctor (or the practice) agrees to perform a variety of specific procedures at a fixed price for each procedure. As these prices are not public information (IMO, they should be), this means the healthcare patient can not shop for treatment at real prices--only artificially HIGH prices. This is one of the reasons driving medical tourism--with the willing help of employers. Everyone saves money and the US healthcare system shows how inefficient it actually is. I posted this info years ago on TMF. It has only grown ever-faster due to the massive increase in US healthcare costs.
