It would be nice to know how much something costs before you pay.

Americans just do the quick math for their locale for taxes, not nearly the same thing as opaque medical fees.
I don’t think that it generally true. At least, I just wait to get to the register to discover how much I’ll be spending. I mean it is usually within 20% or so of the advertised cost.

It is a pretty stupid system.
