gollark: What is "the healthcare industry getting some common sense about optimizing costs" even supposed to involve? They magically realize "wow, we can just charge £1000000 less for everything"?
gollark: Yeeees, this is one of those "clear solutions" which would be nightmarish to implement and probably run into tons of issues.
gollark: I don't really trust "clear solutions" as the systems involved in these things are actually very complicated.
gollark: What is that ””””clear solution””””?
gollark: That is definitely an extreme view.
