Much to my amazement, my brother actually managed to negotiate some of the bills for his operation (like the hospital and the anesthesiologist) downward by pointing out that by paying cash, they didn't have to deal with any insurance company paperwork! I get the impression that the price of medical care is what the traffic will bear or negotiate, and not a fixed cost.
