That’s after the fact, though. You don’t get to see any of those numbers until it’s too late to matter.

- maxerickson 6y agoIt matters in the sense that the payments made by the insurance company are already transparent; the other poster is speculating that it will be revealed that the patient portion is larger than the insurance portion, which people in (at least) Michigan already know isn't the case.
- jtbayly 6y agoI didn’t read the grandparent the same way, but that makes sense. Still, I don’t think it’s accurate to say that the prices are transparent when you can’t find them out without first signing away an unknown amount of your own money.
- maxerickson 6y agoSure, it's not price transparency, it's payment transparency (which I don't think is a redefinition of anything I've said above).
