If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
You could start a croudsourced web page where people can report hospital costs for various treatments.
They could enter how much the cost was and how much they had to pay out-of-pocket.

This could everyone to look up the cost first before entering a hospital.
It almost feels like you are forced to buy something without a price ticket and it will cost you what some one makes up. There is currently no way I know of to compare one facility against another.

I bet within the same hospital people receiving the same treatment will pay vastly different sums of money.

IMHO Healthcare should be available for all citizens. A sick nation is a declining nation.

I don't want to offend or get political but seriously to bring down health care cost for everyone, left, right, green blue, brown, purple AND white:
