I think the posters comment was in a vacuum- I, too, did not consider cost when I got a surgery.

It was part because costs aren't transparent, but also because the costs were the same to me after deductible.

The only truly cost aware folks in the system would be Amish on community insurance funds or similar odd edge cases
