That's pretty strange. Usually that copay covers most of the services you receive in the ER.
For example, I went in with a concussion a few years ago, and the CT scan was included in my ER copay (which was $100-$150)
It's so dependent on so many things - and I agree that's the core problem of our healthcare. Private insurance could work if the way you were charged for care wasn't such a crapshoot.
I like the car example, there's pretty acceptable baseline prices for labor (mechanical, paint, etc) and I believe they're adjusted for market. So the estimate you get from Body Shops A and B likely won't be markedly different.
