At least the OP is willing to pay cash for his health care. In my opinion, the only way to reduce the outrageous cost for healthcare is to require all patients to participate in their own healthcare cost with an affordable copay, based on a percentage of the total cost. Healthcare providers should be required to display prices for all of their services on their website. Then, patients could shop around for the best service and price. Insurance companies should not be allowed fo cover healthcare costs at 100 percent where the patient doesn't care, or even know, the actual cost for their treatment.
