Reply to comment by bostonmacosx in Thoughts on Question 2 anyone? by bostonmacosx

What? Every time I've gone to a dentist I've gotten a list of work I'd need done and a cost for each procedure. That's loads better than any medical care I've ever gotten

I'm talking between dentists....not just in one place...most people go to a dentist because it is local...not because it offers the best pricing.

I think people are willing to travel an extra five minutes if it genuinely saves them hundreds of dollars

So where is this marketplace to compare costs?

Some explicitly advertise prices, but usually you'll have to go in for an evaluation and ask for a plan

If I'm making your point, then I have no idea what your point is. Your claim is that people have 0 ability to compare prices. It's definitely harder than shopping for a couch, but world's better than getting prices from a hospital
