Most people hear that and think: “Cool. Patients can shop now.” That’s not the real story. Here’s the Dutch insight… Healthcare is crossing a line it has never crossed before: It’s becoming computable. That matters far more to entrepreneurs and data scientists than to patients. Because once prices exist, a chain reaction starts: • Markets form • Benchmarks emerge • Arbitrage appears • Bundles can be built • Risk can be priced • Forward contracts become possible (yes, my SurgeryFutures) This is how every modern industry was rebuilt. Not with speeches. With data. This is what incumbents are actually afraid of. They never feared patients. They fear: • Models • Comparisons • Graphs • Rankings • Dashboards that ask: “Why is this 20x more expensive?” Opacity protected margins. Data destroys them. The Dutch Line: Price transparency isn’t a “patient-first” policy. It’s an infrastructure shift. And when infrastructure changes, power follows. Healthcare just crossed that line… Let’s go 🔥🔥🔥
