This is all great, but cost isn't the only metric, there is also such things as readmission rate &c. Two weeks ago or three a fellow, a physician, made the front page of HN who listed prominently listed prices for his hospital, but you had to go digging for readmission rates.
That guy was on a mission, and his mission wasn't to improve public health. If his mission was that he would have listed the other important metrics. He knows all about them, he is a physician, after all. This sort of dishonesty I cannot stand.

- HarryHirsch 13y agoNo one knows about his motives except that person himself, but it is indisputable that a public figure such as he has responsibilities to society, and he does not fulfill them.
