Jimoh...
Some good ideas in your post... and I will give examples..
Go to any doctor or even their front desk people and ASK... how much does this cost I have not had a single person be albe to tell me...
(as an aside, I can ask this in my dentist's office and they will tell me what any and everything costs... they also will say 'this is not covered by your insurance, do you want to pay for it yourself... it is $25)...
One of the other problems is the cost of some of the medicine that is out there... why can we not have some negotiation with the companies... why does it cost us 25X here and only X in Canada or England....
My mother is trying to get approved for some bone medication... the one recommended by the doc cost over $10K per year for two years... she was denied by her insurance company... no reason given...
