Sure, and that’s possible (at significant added cost) in a portion of cases. But not all - you might be on an operating table or in the middle of a psychiatric event, etc etc, where time does not permit second opinions, and if the system is set up to “gotcha” as a baseline, then only the most minor, time insensitive, situations will receive fair pricing.

This is what we have to change. When physicians and hospitals know that patients are scrutinizing care plans they will find a new fairer baseline. That cultural change will subsume older practices.
