Lawyers did pricing better than doctors. Medicine hid costs through a payment plan lumped in with hazard insurance. Now that the game of hide the money has played out, people see real costs and they act shocked.
- ericd 3y agoYeah, I guess many people started to think of the copay as the true cost, since that’s what they paid most of the time?
- gnicholas 3y agoPerhaps, but doctors get paid through opaque insurance. While that can be a hassle, it also introduces the huge benefit of OPM (Other People's Money). Convince your patients to come in for a 20 minute physical, for which they pay $25, and you get 20x as much from their insurance company. Lawyers don't have that play in their playbook!
