By the way I see Dr. Georg Courterier as my Cardiologist, really happy with it.

You do not say who is paying for it. We are now on medicare. As we were not 65 when we retired we paid for private healthcare. It was 5 or 6 years ago. We had AETNA who no longer will insure in Florida. I'm sure if they did and competitors have all raised their prices but we paid 22,000 a year. That had to come from SAVINGS.
The whole system is a mess. If, you are uninsured, decide to self insure, you bills will be roughly 1/3 more than insurance pays for the same service. Co-pays are at what I call retail price not the discounted real price. No simple choices for anyone-including doctors. It is literally a matter of life and death. Few, including me, face reality that no one gets out alive and life is not permanent.
