Another example of how bananas the system is: when I go to order prescription refills through my health care provider, it is currently unable to tell me how much it's going to cost me. You're expected to say "Ok, charge me whatever these cost" and then, I suppose, call customer support if you don't agree with the price you were charged that day.

I don't know if there's some kind of a "price of the day" marketplace calculation that needs to happen for the provider to find out the current prices, but that's pretty odd. It's like buying stocks or a Dungeness crab dish at a restaurant.
