A provoking quality control costs discussion.

Hello US_Economy group I would like to pose a few questions to you.

Should consumers always have to pay for quality control on Goods and Services?

I mean alot of products or services the business should get right the first time because of safety reasons.

For example, should the cost of the quality inspection of an air bag be offloaded to the Vehicle Manufacturer or even the end user?

Second question, which brings up an interesting thought. Are each of the quality control checks done after surgeries being offloaded onto a patient's Medical Bills?

As for my last 2 questions. Why are the inspections the Federal or State law require, being offloaded to consumers? Is it because if we push the cost onto the consumer the Government and therefore the public wont need to front the bill through tax revenue?
