I think the reason you have this opinion is that you do not have medical insurance. In that circumstance, yeah, the sky's the limit.

I do have insurance because you can't afford to go without it and risk loosing everything. However it has a high deductible so I am very interested in shopping for resonable medical costs. I am finding this is almost impossible to do with the way the system is set up today. I have asked many friends and family members and have yet to find anyone who compared pricing for doctor services. Maybe the medical field is just too complicated to function competitively in our capitalist system.
