That might be possible if healthcare companies were upfront about the cost of their services. But I bet you couldn't find an upfront cost for stitches from 3 hospitals in your area.

Not only that, I tried to look up pricing prior to an emergency visit. I got a massive excel spreadsheet that was every single name for each codified medical procedure they had. On top of that it’s often not possible to anticipate what all treatment you’ll receive. I was expecting to just receive stitches real quick but ended up in surgery overnight.
