There is no competition between hospitals. If you call two seperate hospitals and ask them the cost of any given form of surgery they will give you radically different price ranges, possibly in the thousands. And their not going to change their prices just because their competitor down the block is charging a different price either. I've heard similar issues with overnight stay, since you can't always just ask the hospital you end up at to move you to another because it's cheaper (assuming your conscious).
There are many problems that one would face with a government healthcare, but competition between hospitals isn't one of them.
