Oh, I know nothing of the kind. I DO know that paying millions of dollars in malpractice insurance is a real cost that drives health care costs up. I do know that dozens of unnecessary tests to prevent a later unfounded lawsuit is a real cost. Would you actually choose a doctor/hospital that charges five times more for an equivalent procedure? You wouldn't if you had cost transparency. Costs themselves would level down over time. Some of the greatest costs savings would come from HSAs (saving and earning interest on money for major medical expenses rather than letting insurance companies use this money). Imagine that you could shop for the coverage YOU need from all over the country rather than being forced to buy insurance in the state you live in. Imagine how much less your insurance would cost if you didn't have to pay for insurance that covers diseases/treatments that you don't want covered. Imagine paying for health insurance like home owners insurance. You don't get coverage if someone dents a wall, but you are fully covered if your house burns down. And if you want lamp breakage insurance, you can pay more for it. Doesn't that just make more sense?","CommentedOnType":"Article","CommentedOnKey":"blogEntryId45792","ContentBlockingState":"Unblocked","CommentUrl":"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/bottomline/detail?entry_id=45792&plckFindCommentKey=CommentKey:24466b18-dea0-4054-83c5-ec4556af6d3c","AssociatedCommunityGroupKey":null,"NumberOfRecommendations":"762","AbuseReportCount":"0","CurrentUserHasRecommended":"False","CurrentUserHasReportedAbuse":"False"},{"CommentKey":{"Key":"CommentKey:53abf710-3428-48ae-b87d-7a00c8bd841f"},"Author":{"AvatarPhotoUrl":"http://contribute.sfgate.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/1/13/113b6897-c8b6-4bdf-adee-5e5b77560a46.Small.jpg","LastUpdated":"8/20/2009 2:17:13 PM","LastUpdated_UTC":"Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:17:13 GMT","Age":"","Sex":"","AboutMe":"","Location":"","ExtendedProfile":{"u":"buggedknot","sfgh":"5051561ff30249f58b55da231a5cf7b7"},"CustomAnswers":{},"NumberOfRecommendations":"0","NumberOfMessages":"2","NumberOfFriends":"0","NumberOfPendingFriends":"1","NumberOfComments":"180","MessagesOpenToEveryone":"True","PersonaPrivacyMode":"Public","DateOfBirth":"1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM","DateOfBirth_UTC":"Mon, 01 Jan 0001 08:00:00 GMT","CommentsTabVisible":"True","PhotosTabVisible":"True","IsEmailNotificationsEnabled":"True","SelectedStyleId":null,"Signature":null,"CurrentUserRecommendedProfile":"False","CurrentUserHasReportedAbuse":"False","AwardStatus":{"Badges":[],"LeaderboardRankings":[],"Activities":[]},"CurrentUserIsFriend":"False","UserKey":{"Key":"buggedknot"},"DisplayName":"buggedknot","Email":"","UserTier":"Standard","AdministrativeTier":"None","ImageUrl":"http://contribute.sfgate.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/1/13/113b6897-c8b6-4bdf-adee-5e5b77560a46.Small.jpg","PersonaUrl":"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/contribute/sn/persona?User=buggedknot&plckUserId=buggedknot","IsBlocked":"False","ExternalUserIds":{}},"PostedAtTime":"8/19/2009 12:10:49 PM","PostedAtTime_UTC":"Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:10:49 GMT","CommentBody":"The real problem is that a free market system does not exist in the realm of health care.
