If the price of medical care were readily available, I believe the health care "crisis," as it has been called, would be considerably less of an issue. Once care givers responded to the transparency, prices would drop. Additionally, individuals would be able to determine the level of risk associated with purchasing more affordable high deductible insurance. Currently, most people just pick the insurance product that gives them the lowest deductible, never stopping to consider that the aggregate cost of their routine visits may amount to less than the difference between high and low deductible coverage.
