- carlosrt 13y agoSafeWayHealth is one of those. They sell the, cash, price of healthcare procedures to large employers that self insure. This DRASTICALLY reduces the cost of healthcare (e.g. a company pays $800 cash for a colonoscopy, vs. $7,000 via insurance).

This service needs to exist for everybody. http://safewayhealth.com/ http://safewayhealth.com/ Source: http://www.quora.com/Medicine-and-Healthcare/What-are-some-of-the-most-mind-blowing-facts-about-US-healthcare/answer/Carlos-Tobin http://www.quora.com/Medicine-and-Healthcare/What-are-some-o...
