Last time my son got a flu test it was $180. This time he was sick and school needed a note so I went to the Dr. They asked if I wanted a flu and covid test. I said, “How much will it cost?” Nurse said “I have no way of knowing that.”
I said, “No. Unless you tell me how much it will cost.” She walked out in a huff to go get the Dr.
How are we supposed to “let the market sort out the cost” when we can’t see the cost before the bill?
You have never been to South America.
