Its even more absurd because your health, well being, and potentially life is held hostage. Like, if the choice is "you pay this or you die", it's not exactly a choice. They can charge whatever BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU'RE DEAD.

But the mere fact that you can go get a surgery, and not only will you not know what it will cost, you don't even know who you're doing business with: you're going to get bills from the doctor, from the hospitals, from the nurses, from the anesthetist, and god know what else from, for the next 6 months. You don't even know if you're done paying all your bills or not!

Its completely absurd.

Just like when you buy food! Or heating! Or water!
