That is always the same thing when you use the power of well-regulated markets no matter what the industry or context. Right now you can buy the car of your choice at an optimal price. My mother-in-law has an Aveo she bought brand new for $7000 and has all kinds of bells and whistles. She gets like 40+ mpg The only difference between that and health care is that we, as a people, seem to coming to agreement that everybody should have a car of minimal, but effective, quality if they can't otherwise afford one. Thus, the problem right now is that providers are separated from consumers by a 3rd party. We simply need to set the right market regulations, put consumers and providers into that market, and then bulk buy products and services for those that can't afford to go to market. The same solution has worked for entire nations for 300 years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
