really dumb idea but..

What if the insurer and healthcare provider were one and the same?

Wouldn't that remove the fraud 'game' , increase transparency, and lower premiums?

or will it actually make it 2x worse for the patient?

Not dumb, it's called integrated care! Kaiser Permanente and the Mayo Clinic do just that.
