And you contribute your entire salary to charity?

HMO's are so prevalent because, intended or unintended, government policy has funneled people into them. There is no aspect of the health care system that hasn't been molded by government policy ( except all the life saving innovations ).

HMO's who don't care about health ,only profits.

When I get sick I pay cash, which would be illegal under Gore's draconian plan.

My wife had her appendix removed a few years ago, and we paid cash. It was still cheaper than if we had had insurance.

Like it or not, a third-party payor system that pays whatever the doctor wants is dead. It's too bad that everything's become so inflated that we no longer have much of a direct payment system where the doctor is accountable to the patient-customer. If anything, direct payment should be at least 30 percent cheaper with all the gross overhead in medical offices.
