If every single health payment was based on Medicaid, nearly every medical sector provider would see huge decreases in revenue

That is the trade off that exists in stronger negotiated pricing for consumers. Private or public.

Now it is a bit more dynamic then that. If prices come down then more people will be able to afford consuming the product and more of it. So there is a bit of balancing act. But yeah, that is the basic relationship.
