like that people couldn't offer things like lasik and plastic surgery with price schedules
Don't know that much about plastics but with lasik for $2500 per eye or something like that, I would imagine those are physician owned stand alone clinics and are fairly routine and vary very little as to time, equipment,etc. They might lose on a few but far more are uncomplicated and they know what kind of profit margin they want and charge accordingly. Not many hospital procedures are that straight forward.

Really? Setting a broken bone? Appendectomy? I'm not saying that those procedures will be routine every time, but "not many"? I'm having a hard time believing there's just no such thing as routine medical treatment. If people can laser your eyeballs for a predictable price they can stitch you up or set a broken bone for a predictable price.
