Very few would. I think that is one of the points being brought up here. The healthcare industry in general is not (has not previously and is not currently) functioning efficiently.
I don't think it's valid. The worker at sunglass hut at mall of louisiana doesn't know the price of a coat at dillards nor should they be expected to. Just because there might be one disease doesnt mean that there won't be multiple services required. I don't expect a surgeon to know the price of gauze nor the price of iv fluids from the hospital. I also don't expect him to know the price of anesthesia. I would talk to the hospital and anesthesiologist for those things. Just as I would talk to dillards about a coat not sunglass hut. I would bet you that the surgeon (or at least the billing office) knows his charges for his services.

My comment was much more general than you make it out to be. The current insurance system is to blame.
The (ir)responsibility of the entire industry lies with many though. Physicians in general are included. Nobody is preventing them from fixing the underlying issues. They are intelligent and on "the front lines" every day. Instead too many take their pay and go home silent. IMO this will change when their pay drops below fair pay.
