If you are planning an operation you likely want the best Hospital with the best team your Doctor recommends and cost likely doesn’t matter after you exceed your health insurance deductible.
Even if you have a high deductible, when you’re in need of immediate medical care and end up in a hospital, price again is likely the furthest thing from your mind — that is until the medical bills start rolling in.
For Americans with comprehensive insurance coverage, the true costs of medical care may never really surface for you personally, but for those with high-deductible plans, skimpy coverage or no insurance at all, knowing that you could have had the same procedure performed down the street for half the cost, or less, probably makes your blood boil.
