How does any of this explain haggling over a medical bill?

  That’s... what I just explained? Haggling over a medical bill == individual financing.

    That Costa Rica reference threw me off, I didn't realize that your claim is the haggling over medical bills is built in into the US health care system.

      Costa Rica was the starting point for this thread. Haggling over medical costs is built into individual financing, but of course most people in the US don’t do individual financing, so my argument is more that arguing over idiosyncrasies of individual financing is usually a red herring when discussing the US health care system.
