It seems you read what was on your mind rather than what I wrotejpanhalt said:You have to make money, or you can't live. Regulation adds to costs without much quantifiable benefit. Competition generally leads to a better, more efficient, and less costly outcome.

An HMO is mostly just an insurance company the contracts for care.
That is not the same as the care and insurance coming from the same company.
Here in the UK we have a mixture of both.Health care is an interesting animal. When public it does not generate money for research, and services can be hard to get. If it is private some can not afford it.
Earlier on I said we don't pay anything for our healthcare, this isn't entirely true. Ophthalmology and dentistry are not free but heavily subsidised; children and students get this for free though. There's also flat-rate prescription charge which makes all drugs the same price.
Depends who's health I'm deeming as important?Wouldn't you rate health to be more important than the economy?
Holly Transistors HiTech!Barbie Griffin? A BIG YES!
Who's Barbie Griffin you ask?
Yes I agree and I think it needs sorting.Ophthalmology and dentistry are only free under certain circumstances, and apart from that are completely unsubsidised these days.
It's almost impossible to find an NHS dentist who will take you, unless you're under 18, unemployed, or pregnant.
If that same distinction holds in GB, it is hard to imagine a compassionate government that would ignore diseases of the eye and retina, including diabetic retinopathy, detached retinas, bacterial and viral infections of the eye, pink eye, retinitis pigmentosa, Tay-Sach's, glaucoma, cataracts, penetrating injuries, etc.

I'm also reasonably sure that surgery for cataracts and glaucoma are free on the NHS.
Barbie Griffin, or Michelle McCurry (real name) is absolutely, positively, most assuredly, damn skippy, and without a doubt in my little pea brain one of the best looking women walking on this planet!! A Florida native, 26yr. old blue-eyed blonde with 34D breasts.... that's the only thing I need in life! And to think I once leaned towards Carmen Elektra .... fffft!Holly Transistors HiTech!
Don't click on the link unless you are over 18.
There's something good about being 40+
They're called "lungs". Now aren't you glad you went through with the cataract surgeries? Look at what you've been missing out on.Barbie Griffin has huge you-know-whats.
