If I need an operation, am I going to call around for the lowest price? Of course not. Why not? If the procedure is not an emergency, you definitely should. Even if the person has insurance, it still makes sense to ask about costs and policies. Most practices will negotiate. I'm not sure about the current legalities of healthcare price advertisement. I know that plenty of walk in clinics do it routinely. The original prohibition, supposedly, was because of a concern that doctors would collude and collectively raise prices. This is crap that only government deep thinkers could produce.
