Our health care system takes advantage of people when they are at their most vulnerable and cannot shop around for the best outcome with the best price. Hospitals and providers obfuscate their pricing - they don't want you to know how much they charged you for that .50 Tylenol. And the insurers deny claims and keep things inconvenient and complicated, precisely so you'll just go away and pay the extortionate rates without making a peep.
