    Last time my son got a flu test it was $180. This time he was sick and school needed a note so I went to the Dr. They asked if I wanted a flu and covid test. I said, “How much will it cost?” Nurse said “I have no way of knowing that.”

    I said, “No. Unless you tell me how much it will cost.” She walked out in a huff to go get the Dr.

    How are we supposed to “let the market sort out the cost” when we can’t see the cost before the bill?
