Well sorry if I'm not getting what you're saying, but I just don't agree with this. Essentially what you're saying is broad socialism is a proven failure but a small amount will be a huge success. But that's the least of the problems with this idea. The core problem is NOT financing, so creating socialistic "competition" amongst financiers is, frankly, laughable in terms of solving the problem. Further we've already got a funding problem with our existing socialistic health care programs: SCHIP (for kids), Medicaid (for the poor), and Medicare (the mandatory seniors program). And add to that, that Medicare is set to cut doctors rates by 23% next year! That cost isn't in the bill. In other words, you don't fix sky rocketing supply-side costs by creating socialistic demand-side financing plans. Ha! That whole idea makes me laugh every time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
