Exactly my point. It would actually save most people a lot of money
and they would be a lot more conscious about what they paid.
People would argue about ridiculous bills. We had an article here
about hospital bills (Lee Memorial Hospital) and it turns out they
bill about 4 times what they actually will take if you negotiate.


Good GAWD! It's not just about "saving money." We're talking about people's
health. Sometimes there's a correlation but not always. How would you like
to walk around with an ingrown toenail for a couple of months until it
festered to the point of amputation?
