20 years ago, hospital corporations were able to lobby the government to give them an additional 30% "facility fee" when they billed Medicare/Medicaid.  Private insurance soon followed.  This gave hospital corporations the financial leverage to take over private group practices.  It did require that the older docs sell out the younger docs, but they gladly did so to help maintain their income.  When our multi-specialty clinic voted to create an affiliation/professional service agreement with the local hospital, I voted against it.  Us younger guys were outvoted.  The result was that in the last ~ 15 years, most doctor's practices were eliminated and now ~ 75% of doctors work directly for a hospital corporation as W-2 employees.

You still have physicians' groups that can make it on their own without the 30% facility fee, but it's rough.  It's usually large orthopedic surgery, radiology, anesthesiology, etc groups that can generate a lot of income to take care of the overhead and turn a good profit.  Even my sister who is a dermatologist has a solo practice, but she spends a lot of free time managing it, billing, etc.  

What you're proposing is a practical impossibility, at least on a large scale.  There are so many regulations and red tape that the main way people make it work is direct billing of patients in the "concierge medicine" type practices.  They represent a small fraction of patient visits.  Most people can't afford it, certainly not most people on Medicaid and Medicare.  If private billing practices ever rose to a significant number, the government would crack down in it.

Theoretical question, what if a guy had a minor emergency, something non life threatening but needed attention, a broken arm maybe.  He's a US citizen but no health insurance.  He knows the ER visit will be $10k and wipe him out financially.  Is it in the guys interest to pretend to be illegal?  Tell the ER that he's Juan from Peru?  No habla the English?

Expecting everybody else to participate in your suicide pact is fucking insane. The choice to stay there is yours. Sit and listen to the band on the Titanic if you want to but getting mad at others for pointing out reality is the act of an insane person.

Just leave. "but but my job my stuff my children's friends in school" blah blah.  Yeah, okay.  That hospital will kill you because you are white and a citizen so maybe treat the situation for what it really is. A rotten failed state that has to come apart the rest of the way before it the brains and will to get better.
