| OOD, I know you deal with the healthcare industry and have some good "inside" perspectives. What do you think of a healthcare savings or medical voucher type situation? I believe in competition and I think when people have healthcare insurance they don't care what a DR charges because they don't see it. If a family had a medical savings account to draw from then wouldn't they "dr shop" to find the guy that's maybe a few dollars cheaper on his office calls etc? I know that is a simplification but I believe if you introduce some type of competition then the consumer wins.
With the Canadian system there are long waits for some services. Imagine waiting 6 months to be seen for prostate cancer? People that have them money come here.
