I don't know. With the third-party payer system, cost is hardly a factor in medical decisions.

Is it not? I was under the impression that as providers we should provide affordable care as well. For example, theres no reason to throw every test at a patient that has clear signs of a certain bacterial infection.

Maybe cost is less of a factor in life threatening situations.
