In Canada, a significant amount of medical procedures (possibly all of them?) have pre-set prices. A visit to a doctor's office costs X. A hospital visit costs X. There's no 'how much might you charge for this procedure tomorrow?' Of course, Canadians don't pay out of pocket for the vast majority of insurance things, but it even extends to other non-covered services like RMTs, dentistry, etc. Private insurance may not cover some specific things (like white fillings on molar teeth), but you never have to wonder what the prices are or how much you'll end up paying if you say yes.
