What you need is usually priceless, unless you cannot afford it

"Today it is nearly impossible to be an informed consumer of medical services. With decent standardized cost estimating and billing systems a consumer would at least be able to make informed cost/ benefit decisions and chose between providers and procedures."
I guess that when it comes to health nothing is too expensive, it is more a matter of "Can I afford?" than "How much does it cost?"
That is why drugs and medical care are so expensive.
Today the price depends more on "how much do I need it" than "how much does it cost to produce and deliver".
