Reply to comment by LS6 in U.S. hospitals are required to publish their prices for medical procedures now, so my friends and I collected around 2 million prices from 33 hospitals in Maryland and created a search engine where anyone can see how much they may be charged. Let me know what you think! (x-posted from r/Maryland) by Dr_Midnight

Yes, I think not spending one's own money is a prime reason. If people could get quick loans for car repairs, mechanics would prob start over charging, knowing there was an easy money source. Now they realize that people have to take it from their own pocket, this keeps them more in check. I am convinced that this whole student loan crisis has been because people can get school loans fairly easily.
