Anyone that can read financial statements can recognize a hospital's cost are mostly fixed. But here is a link even a doctor can understand.

Good use of the word "mostly". That article, if correct, points to about a 60/40 split, roughly in favor of fixed costs. The point I'm making is that costs vary more than you seem to acknowledge, and there is a fair amount of unpredictability.

The only way your proposed system works is for hospitals to make drastically more than they currently do.- again, they already operate at a 1-3% gain by accepting money for what they bill.
How do the hospitals get more/adequate money for operation without an increase in cost to the patient? And if it does increase cost to the patient, what's the point?

No you are not. 

All of those things have been conjured up in your mind.

Then I'm misunderstanding your point. Are you suggesting legislation moving toward your new proposed model or simply encouragement of hospital systems to move to such a scheme?
