While that is a great point and should be done, one of the most dysfunctional part of the healthcare system is that the end user / patient doesn’t know how much they will pay if they opt to get a thing done. The obscurity of the price _before_ agreeing to get it done is not reflected at all in data which is 100% hindsight.
