Any service comes with a price (cost). There is no free lunch. That is true John, but the one paying for it should also be the one eating it.

There is no reason why I should see an endocrinologist every 90 days if I'm well under control of my own body and do not take any meds... Two times a year should more than enough. Similar arguments have been made by people who die from a heart attack shortly afterward.

This, with other cost cuts will save at least 59% of those $$$ tat will be going straight into the plan...
It should work...
Yes, with the well oiled efficiency the government has demonstrated in the past. I can clearly see how it would! Oh by the way where DID all that stimulus money go? And the accounting on the Bank bail out was well done with equal precision as well.

Though the health provider issue may be a problem (doctors); there are enough doctors in Central America, Indio Ocean and Asia who will be more than willing to set up residency along with American doctors... at a drop of a hat, guaranteed. First what American Doctors would be left? Next why are they not here now while the profits are Huge? Maybe they cannot pass the current medical standards?

Maybe a fresh chicken foot and an annual visit to the witch doctor will do.
