With ability to compare prices going to hospital 200km away with 100 000 $ lower price may become a good idea for non-emergency medical services.

  Yes, people can and do shop around all the time for many medical procedures. For example. if you are going to have laser eye surgery, call 10 doctors and you might see a 3-5x difference in price.

    ... and if you need to see a doctor you'll have to anticipate what he will do so that you can pick the right hospital for it. Easy peasy!

    But how do you compare the quality of different eye surgery doctors and their facilities? Even a small difference in probability of complications makes a huge difference for something as vital as the eyes.
