Heeeyyyyy ... that's the American system. Really, though, the government has never created wealth and therefore will never be the best place to put health care. The market is the best place for it with the participants picking up the tab for a portion or all of those that can't afford it. The market version is called consumer-driven health care (CDHC). It was popularized by Harvard prof Regina Herzlinger and there are companies popping up all over to provide CDHC plans. One very successful company was called Definity, but it was recently snapped up by UnitedHealth. CDHC has already been successful in the plastic surgery market. If you wanted a nose job you'd shop around for the best price/quality point you're comfortable with. The same can work for angioplasties. The US gov't web site that is releasing comparative data on hospitals is the first step in the CDHC health care reform direction. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:184659 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
