Consequently, the speaker calls for doctors to openly discuss the price of care, weigh the pros and cons, and help patients make informed financial decisions about their health.

Docs shouldn't talk money with patients. Okay? Now, why? Who told you that? Because I'm gonna tell you right now.

So I want my doctors to discuss money with me and the cost of my care and weigh the pros and the cons with me.
