Some inflated drug price on TV may shame drug companies to lower a "list price" which is in no way related to what it actually costs. I'm much more interested in getting real prices of various procedures, but to be perfectly honest if I had an expensive procedure that could be scheduled like a knee replacement, going to a foreign hospital that is cheaper, cleaner, and has less infections is certainly a better and safer deal than the typical US hospital.
- tehlike 7y agoThis makes the most sense for one of procedures and follow ups within weeks timeframe. With employers providing healthcare, out of pocket price often is affordable, and nobody would bother that over a few thousands of dollars difference. However, companies end up paying the price (most often large employers self insure), and that is hidden from the employee. It almost makes sense if companies lobbied for something like this for once....
