Thnaks. I happened to talk yesterday with a friend from Romania. He says private hospital do the same there. They have a menu with the prices. All money is paid up front. These prices are bargains as compared to what hospitals charge in the US.
“These prices are bargains as compared to what hospitals charge in the US.”
That’s the truth of the matter. Like you stated about Japan, catastrophic insurance makes the most sense, with almost everything else being paid for out of pocket. Prices here seem to run about 80-90% higher than many other countries.

The US healthcare system is 90% socialist(IE has no market pricing system). The fact that hospitals don’t have upfront pricing here is a violation of the Sherman act that’s for someone is ignored.
