>>If you know what you are doing, you probably could even get brain surgery at super bargain basement prices somewhere.

But as public policy goes, it is more likely shopping for bargain surgery would cause more problems and cause higher costs because of complications<<

Mary, that's a weird response. I was only letting you know that my surgeon performs colonoscopies in a clinic setting because that costs the patient less, despite the fact that she is affiliated with Cedars Sinai and has operating priviliges there.

I never suggested that people should seek low-cost surgeons or bargain basement clinics for all procedures, nor that the government should mandate that.
