- Ididntdothis 7y agoWhere are these lists?
- david-s 7y agoI was able to find one for some hospital procedures on their website recently. It was not helpful. It was both incomplete and inscrutable.
- bad-joke 7y agoI'm not talking about price lists for procedures, I'm talking about price lists for deductibles and premiums on health insurance plans. Visit healthcare.gov and navigate to your state marketplace. They typically provide a detailed price comparison based on several adjustable factors (expected income, expected visits, number of medications, etc). If readily available and detailed price comparison tools haven't stopped health insurance deductibles from tripling in the past year[1], why should we expect price comparison tools at the point of healthcare service to reduce costs?
