Sticker price for US healthcare seems about 10x what it could reasonably cost, in general. And no one knows where 90% of that goes.

About half of it is eaten up by paperwork labor, I think. I know a lot of GPs will give steep cash discounts bc it costs so much.

Outpatient x-ray & ultrasound place run by hospital here gives me big discounts for cash. Not everyone does here. Varies.
