And how did it come to pass that cars are sold this way? Bicycles aren't. I don't think airplanes are.

Health care. It's not a mass produced product, but a mass marketed service. I get invoices and EOBs and none of the numbers ever make sense.
I just paid a doctor bill over the phone with a credit card. The invoice I got in the mail said $267. The voice on the phone said I owed $192. She gave me a discount that I didn't even ask for.
