And if you are in need of critical care what are you going to do with that info? Obxxx and his minions have screwed the health care system up and even the vet charges more now. Hey, x-ray machines work on humans and animals. Drugs get prescribed for humans and animals.

I think over time prices will even out now that they have to be publicized.
“”And if you are in need of critical care what are you going to do with that info? “”
People replying here are missing the point. If you are admitted to a hospital through an emergency room, no one is CHECKING IN at the hospital. All well and good for elective procedures (surgeries) or tests but otherwise, I ask the same question - “what are you going to do with the info?”
Because of O'Dummy more and more local providers refuse to take anything but cash or premium insurance. More and more providers are even refusing medicare.
If only the creeps in politics, all levels, were forced to go through the same hoops as everyone else. Even Ginsberg would be dead by now if she didn't get federal health care reserved for the elite.
Ummmm - the huge disparity will become evident very soon - and it will also become clear that insurance companies use the overblown prices (which they don’t pay because the “game” is that the patient sees that they didn’t have to pay $25,000 and it never occurs to them that the $750 the insurance paid is what the real fair price is) so they can up the rates and deductibles...the hospitals don’t gouge the insurance companies - they’re in cahoots with them.
