The real solution to solving healthcare is to get people asking how much a doctor's visit is going to cost. There is no way to mandate people to go to the lowest priced place so the solution to getting this into the minds of people is by advertising low prices in a hospital, just like every other business on this planet.
That will not work. There are too many families that couldn't afford to pay to even have a broken leg fixed out of pocket.

Even if say the total bill was $400 for the emergency room, xrays and the cast setting. Folks are having a hard time paying their utilities and buying food let alone pay for health care.
