It's great that there's one surgery center in Oklahoma willing to compete on price. Unfortunately that's simply not reflective of the rest of the nation. I'm torn on this article because on one hand I don't like how embedded insurance companies are in the current system (it makes it difficult for a young, motivated person such as myself to find good doctors for my condition), but I also don't like the writer's tone - if he's making a legitimate point, why call it the 'Unaffordable care Act?'

You really need to follow Dr. Keith Smith - he has been writing about this topic for a long time. There is actually quite an interesting movement towards price transparency gaining traction in recent months, checkout for instance http://www.pricepain.com/why with a detailed reference list to articles/discussion on this topic from recent months
