>>Without the invisible hand of everyone self-interests we are never going to get healthcare cost under control.<< I think we're never going to get healthcare costs under control as long as the system is operated for profit, and doctors are paid for each procedure, which gives them the incentive to always do more, prescribe more tests, etc. It isn't reasonable to expect patients to pick and choose which treatments they do and do not want, because most of us don't have the knowledge to make those kinds of decisions. The free market works well for some things, but it's not going to reduce healthcare costs. - Allen
