[quote=briansd1]The problem with health care in America is that the industry can charge whatever it wants, after the fact.
If you give an architect a blank check, he can build you the nicest house. But can you afford it?
Everyone wants to stay at the Ritz Carlton, but the average person can only afford Holiday Inn.
We need to find a way for the consumer to share the burden of care and see the cost of care ahead of time; so the consumer can benefit from shopping for health care like he shops for electronics.
For day to day stuff, medicine is not that hard. Just pick up some books and read.
We need to educate people so that they know what is healthy and what isn’t.[/quote]
We can only nanny so much…..we already do way more than we should. If a customer is too stupid to shop and determine the best value for his money than I don’t feel bad if he doesn’t get the best deal.
