    I like how you just throw something out with absolutely nothing offered to back it up, and then change the subject. Although I do agree that doctors and hospitals across the nation are charging for unneeded services, and that does indeed contribute to our high cost of healthcare...a doctor ordering a surgery that costs 20 grand over here and 5 grand somewhere else has absolutely nothing to do with that. One issue is the cost of the services, the other issue is the over-use of them. I only touched on the former.

    Back to your unfounded initial statement though...tell me one scenario, ever, where competition has resulted in a more expensive and inferior final product. Just one.
