Wait, maybe I'm not understanding your claim correctly, but insurance companies and government medical programs regularly negotiate prices that are different and often much lower than the listed price. And I have yet to see any major medical procedures or items that weren't being sold at a profit, or, if they weren't being sold at a profit to the public, they were being subsidized by the government to make up for the discrepancy. Can you please direct me toward information that says otherwise? Or are you talking about something else?
