Price transparency is good but, what's also missing in health care is value transparency. In other words, not only do most people (including most physicians) not know how much anything in health care really costs, they don't know how much anything should cost! The level of blindness in this business is truly unprecedented. What's also needed are a number of consumer protection laws that we take for granted in pretty much every other industry. Those alone would go a long way toward correcting many of the problems we have in health care.
