How To Fix Healthcare: LASIK Surgery For The Medical Debate, Reason.TV on You Tube
As we've said all along, competition and patient choice will help bring down the cost of healthcare and improve quality, NOT the new Obama healthcare law with its massive regulations and bureacracies. It's not rocket science folks and has been proven in the other 5/6 of the American economy over the past 236 years. Why should healthcare be any different? LASIK corrective eye surgery, which is not covered by third party payers and their price distortions, is a perfect example of how high technology services have provided great patient satisfaction at prices which continue to fall. Watch this video and learn how simple proposals akin to the D4PC "Prescription" will allow healthcare prices to fall and quality to increase.
