Doesn't it seem crazy to go buy something and not even know what you paid for it?
What's even more difficult to understand (or justify) is why, when two consumers visit the same physician for the exact same reason, they will be charged different fees depending on their insurance coverage. This is like playing roulette with the numbers hidden from consumers, who have no idea of the charges or discounts that will be applicable for their visits. As a result, they not only may be incurring higher charges for themselves, but also unintentionally run the risk of rewarding inefficient and expensive physician practices.
