A good overview and reminder of the health care price issues we face in this country. First there is the problem of transparency, we have no idea what anything costs. But it goes farther than that, even if we know what something costs, the individual patient/consumer has no bargaining power to impact that price. Other countries have successful models to deal with these issues, but if I mentioned what they are I'd be called a heathen communist. (You know, like that communist country Japan...)
