I wish he would have stated that differently. That's my money [taxes] he's referring to as a lost opportunity. But I understand his perspective.

It makes no sense when you consider the other 49 states. Its negative sum game from that angle.

Actually, I've been waiting to bring that one up. Turns out that the medical community has excellent competition and good service in the areas where insurance is not paying. Tit jobs being an excellent example. Drive the freeways of L.A. and look at the billboards for 1) Cosmetic surgery, and 2) Laser eye surgery. Or listen to the radio adds. The competition is brutal, prices are excellent, and the service is fast. All because these are areas that the consumer is acting as a consumer in, and paying from their own pocket. How freaking amazing.
