I happen to care.

I haven't seen any proposals to address the problem you care so much about. Have you seen or made any?

The most direct one would be an anti-gouging law, to make it illegal to charge uninsured individuals more than, say, 125% of the lowest cost for which the provider is contracted. That would probably raise costs overall and it might limit access but it would fix your concern.
