I think doctors and hospitals would prefer to work without insurance

I think it probably depends on the nature of the care, as a cash-paying customer my medical needs have been met at a very reasonable price, but then I have not needed anything terribly complicated. I think that both me and the doctor were happy with the results.

When you get into procedures that cost several thousand dollars, there just aren't very many patients who can pay that upfront ... and once a doctor gets into installment payments he might as well be dealing with an insurance company (though apparently it does work with cosmetic surgery patients).
