How do I make an informed decision when I'm bleeding out in the back of an ambulance?

Lots of ER visits aren't that dire. There are three hospitals within range if I broke my arm. I'd totally comparison shop if it were even remotely possible to call each up and ask how much. But getting even an estimated price for x-ray and bone set over the phone? Hahahahaha.
In which country in the world do patients regularly call up 3 hospitals to inquire about the price of setting your broken bone?
