by definition, it would be cheaper for some and more expensive for others.

when it comes to UHC in america you have 3 problems to solve

1.) How to stop the symbiotic relationship between Big Pharma, Insurance, and Hospitals

2.) How to pay for it

3.) How to prevent a drop in medical R&D by limiting the profits Big Pharama can earn by solving #1

if you don't solve #1, #2 doesn't matter. And #3 is something you need to be aware of with your solution to #1.

For example, it's illegal for Hospitals to charge a different price for insured patients and uninsured patients. However, insurance negotiates a "true" rate with the hospitals so they never actually pay the "list" price. This is the advertised as a "benefit" of insurance companies.
