This is just my uninformed opinion, but I have noticed a common thread in the excuses stated by the problems in the hmo industry. That is they have experienced failure in IT implementations. That is why I like certain stocks that will benefit healthcare organizations through the utilization of the internet. But of course, more regulation of the industry would hamper the ability of these companies to help the industry. I am unaware of any reasons why the industry should not be deregulated, and let the market efficiencies dictate the composition of the healthcare industry.
