That is a very real statement, which I personally experienced, BTW. I had a health issue and my default option was to address to a private clinic which had good image and publicity. Their attention to clients was irreproachable, ("clients" instead of "patients" is intentional inhere,) but they were elusive when I asked them for estimates on time of treatment and money. This marked some red flags for me and I was in response elusive about my decision to start the treatment right away. I started to dig a little bit on patient's experience with the said clinic and found not-so-encouraging feedback (mixed with a lot of downplay and apologism). I then turned to public health care service. It was frustrating (as expected) but they weren't trying to lure me in some kind of "relationship" and were straight to the chase. Public health should not be left to business.
