Well, let's say a modern regulated market. As an example take Chinese melanine toys. When buyers can't trust the safety of the goods at the market, they'll leave and the market will dissolve. In the case of healthcare we've got regulation and best practices to ensure safety (e.g., licensing), but the market itself is not regulated to ensure transparency. In other words, the problem is not the expectation of safety, it's transparency of pricing. Further the typical customer isn't buying the core product or service but rather a financing product and THAT'S the core problem. Those are good products, and we need them, but do you buy a credit card instead of a TV? I mean you don't decide you want a TV, so you ask your employer to secure you a great credit card and then the credit card company negotiates and buys the TV for you. READ THAT ^^^^^^ THAT'S THE PROBLEM! The government has failed to regulate the market ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
