Despite their names, the Affordable Care Act, the American Health Care Act, and now the Better Care Reconciliation Act are really not about health care. They are all about insurance, which masks the charged costs of medical care. To solve the health care cost crisis, we need to understand the charges that medical providers submit. That’s usually shown on an insurer’s explanation of benefits, but they can be ignored by the insurance policy holder who doesn’t have to pay them. When one is admitted to a hospital emergency room or doctor’s office, the question is never “What will this cost?” but rather “What is the insurance company?”
