Bargain Hunting... At the Doctors?

The basic idea of this, is to show that if you need a "simple" procedure, it is in your best interest to go looking at different practices, because some are radically cheaper than others. So why doesn't everyone do this? Well, in my family, we all have one doctor that we've been seeing for almost our entire lives, and we trust our doctors. So I think many people would rather just stick with their own doctors and be confident they will get good treatment. And though this "bargain hunting" may be beneficial, it might not help those whose health care only allows them to go to a specific doctor or hospital. That all being said, I think it's worth considering, especially if it means saving a chunk of cash.
