Anyway.... yeah, that shit is crazy.
Gary suggested that it should be like a grocery store, where EVERYTHING is marked with a price.
Imagine going to a grocery where nothing was marked. 

That's one of my biggest HCR issues. You get your spleen out in a large metro hospital, it's one price; your wife gets hers out in a small rural hospital with a different insurance company, she pays a different price. 

And you'll never get a straight answer from a doctor on what something is going to cost. It's always "well, we'll have to bill your insurance." It should be: "I'm charging to X. You can call your insurance and find out how much they'll cover."
