    US healthcare is full of waste, greed, and deception. For how much we pay as a country, we should be getting better outcomes and our healthcare workers should be paid better, but neither is happening.

      at least where I am in texas, they tell you what it will cost before you go. When I was in utah, I asked them beforehand what it would cost and they said it would be impossible to know until after the procedure was done. The front desk person said even they weren’t even allowed to know the prices beforehand.

        That was a federal law change, not a Texas law. You think Texas politicians give a fuck about their constituents?

          Which not all hospitals are following… The fine for breaking the law is less then the “competitive advantage” of screwing over consumers.

          good to know. yeah, it didn’t seem like the kind of thing for texas to do on its own.
