Reply to "Trump signs 'right to try' Act."

I'm glad to see Trump take on and try and achieve affordable prescription medication.  I wish things would go further though.  For years we've talked about healthcare insurance but never is the actual cost of healthcare itself.  

For instance take various blood/lab test or medical procedures that are often prescribed.  The patent never knows what these test or procedures cost until they get the bill and therefore they have absolutely no ability to choose the low bid provider for there is none known.  Certain known/standard test should have their cost provided up front to the customer/patent so that they can make a financial decision whether or not to choose that provider.  It's the same with physicians in that no one knows what their office visit is going to cost until they get the invoice/bill from the provider.  

Then there are those that charge far more to people that have healthcare insurance than to those who don't.  These days, given the healthcare insurance system that the politicians imposed upon us, exempted themselves from, a families deductible, (money out of their pocket before any insurance even is considered), is so high that in effect it's like not having health insurance coverage.
