You know what would REALLY promote healthy lifestyles?

Publishing what your procedures cost BEFORE you overbill and triple bill patients with obscure medical codes your own billing people can't and won't explain.

Hospitals literally can't tell you how much your insurance company will charge you for a procedure. Only the insurance company can tell you, and often they won't tell you the real cost until you've already committed. This is the "middle man" people complain about.
