Why Tax Credits for Health Insurance Won't Work

What do airline passengers and hospital patients have in common? Everyone in the same class gets the same service but what they pay is vastly different. A lab test gets billed for $40. The lab's contract with my insurance says they only get $10. Insurance pays $8 and I pay $2. If you have no insurance, you pay the full $40. So what you are billed is probably inversely proportional to what you can pay.
