That went completely over your head. The point being, the clerk is not going to ask....“You want someone else to do your work for you?”. The clerk is going to ask questions to be sure both are on the same page. That’s their job. And yes, calling about a 2x4x8’ (notice I included the footage again...which you must’ve missed in my original comment) is much different than major surgery. But, the person quoting the surgery price should naturally include a caveat RE other possible prices if there are complications. That should be their job.
Not really, no. Though my response to your analogy may have been a bit above you.

So you're admitting that since no to patients are the same and no two surgery situations are alike then it's impossible to say just how much a procedure might cost. The best you can hope for is an average amount, and that is already available at the website I posted earlier as well as other sites. Why is Trump trying to reinvent the wheel? Especially when how can we expect hospitals to post anything but the lowest cost, best case scenario since that's what makes them look the best? Wouldn't the most accurate information have to come from a third party?
