Obama on How Markets Reduce Racial Discrimination
Dentists are the last entrepreneurs. They have fairly huge fixed costs, and a staff, and they have to generate cashflow by inflicting pain. Scratch a dentist, and you will find a guy whose father was a peddler or a grocer or a tailor. They know how to bargain fer sher.
Well, would you bargain if it was not overpriced? The problem with medical, legal and dental fields is the lack of transparency on pricing.
I'm suprised that more people don't do this.
I'm not saying I'd want more laws. But given how heavily regulated health care is I'm suprised they can charge more for a non-insured patients than insured patients for the same service.
