When you think of upfront pricing it just makes sense. Recently someone posted a breakdown of their surgery here on HN (don't remember the kind of surgery it was, but it totalled about $30k), I don't understand how a hospital with the same medically trained staff as any other hospital (with exception of specialists of course which would vary) can be 4 times the price as this hospital is offerng to do it for and most likely the same level of care. I encourage everyone to read this Harvard Business Review article here which gives some insight into just how the American healtrh system runs: http://hbr.org/web/extras/insight-center/health-care/why-inn...
