I see. Here is a good thought for you. If people don't pay, they get to write off a larger sum when it is tax time. If you half it, you sure people will pay up? I doubt it will change anything. Perhaps a better system would be pay for service. I go to my vet and they give me an estimate. Doctors should be able to give you an estimate too. No method of payment, no service. I go to get my car fixed and they do the same thing.
