That is a complicated subject, and I do not believe I claimed that there is a large detrimental effect on costs, but in the spirit of your one sentence question, I will give a once sentence reply: Many countries ration health care more than the US, thus restricting their people to less health care than people in the US, and by not allowing people to choose low- "effectiveness" care paid for by other people, they reduce overall spending without significantly reducing certain metrics of effectiveness (NOT including customer satisfaction, though) _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
