But the heart surgery example is the exception.
Many medical procedures and therapies have very predictable costs and outcomes. And have checkpoints to re-evaluate whether to proceed further.
And accountants and could probably also price in the cost of the occasional problematic case and include a buffer in the standard price to account for it.
There are plenty of straight forward ways to provide prices for the vast majority of medical procedures, if the proper incentives were in place.

And for the cases where a decision is needed mid-surgery, the patient should have someone standing by to represent their interests and make those decisions on their behalf.
