Right now a doctor, lab, hospital, clinic, etc are all paid when you're sick as long as you stay sick. The minute you're healthy, they stop making money. CDHC changes that whole paradigm to how cosmetic surgery works: hospitals, doctors, and clinics that provide good service get lots of customers; those that provide bad service lose business: http://mysurgerynightmare.com That along with other incentives such as tax free portable HSAs make up CDHC. Lots of things in there and those are just a few high level points. Read anything Regina Herzlinger for more info. minuteclinic.com and definityhealth.com are companies in this space.

The 3% is people that show up at the hospital without insurance or run out of insurance during care taken on average during 2004 (course that numbers always rising, but with 25% of admin costs to offset it ...) It doesn't include unfunded medicare/medicaid. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:227893 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
