> but the big one is that most people (in the US, anyway) view doctors as a magical priesthood that is worth any cost, to the point that most people don't even know what the cost is.

Price shopping doesn't do shit for the majority because the people that do get healthcare get it from their job and don't have a choice anyways which doctors they can see or not.
