In theory yes, but you also have this stuff where people agree to get medical treatment and the price isn't specified. This would be a non-contract in Swedish

In theory yes, but you also have this stuff where people agree to get medical treatment and the price isn't specified.
This would be a non-contract in Swedish law, for example.

- mindcrime 1y agoOne thing about the US, is how we handle settings where one could conceptualize a contract as being needed, but where it would be way too inefficient and impractical to negotiate, write out, understand, and sign, a written contract. In those cases, which includes things like retail sales, restaurants, and may other cases, the UCC or Uniform Commercial Code[1][2] applies. Not sure offhand if that relates to the medical example or not, but I expect that at least some similar notion applies. So there are binding laws that cover these transactions, it's just not done the same way as a "full fledged contract".

- watwut 1y agoKnowing medical prices up front would be entirely possible and practical. In most situations, you should be able to sign contract up front.
