>For example, anything involving money and the field of medicine has wildly all over the place made up pricing. Only in America. In countries with better healthcare systems, prices are fixed or very regular. >I would argue in all cases, this is in fact scummy, and the solution would be to mandate a clear pricing schedule (specifically with criteria on if and when different people are charged different prices) and thus open information availability to inform the customer. In the few places in Japan currently doing this, AFAICT, they do print it clearly. So far, it just seems to be a few places that then get lots of media attention.
