If every person could pick and choose what procedure and which hospital would do the work, bypassing insurance protocol and saving thousands of dollars by getting a hernia operation at hospital A instead of the affiliated hospital B covered by an insurance plan only then will true competition drive down the actual cost of health care. It is amazing the difference in cost from one hospital to another the spread can be in the 5 digit numbers. The same procedure sometimes performed by the same doctor in a different hospital can be large. If people would get a discount by shopping around and going with the lowest bid for a procedure then it would be true health care reform. This farce is a smoke and mirrors slap in everyones face . Neither addressing the true reason health care is out of whack nor a cure.
I just wish more debate and fine tuning could be done before this is signed and then later getting the fine print. That is what really scares me.
