It bothers me to no end that the cash price I pay is drastically higher than the cost the insurance company pays. especially since insurance is a royal pain to deal with, and requires specialists for billing, etc. But then again, I can't believe hospitals don't have to have a 'menu' on their web site that shows their cash and average insurance cost of their 20 most common procedures. I know almost nobody pays cash price, but I don't want my medical care to be treated like Kohls or JC Pennys where they show me a $7 t-shirt is "regularly $27" so I feel like i'm saving, even though we both know they never, EVER charged $27 for that t-shirt..
