Cheaper healthcare????????

I heard on 20/20 tonight that the price for Lasik surgery has gone down by 30%! They want to stay competitive! What a novel idea! While the price of medical care is going way way up, elective surgeries are going down. Plastic surgeons want repeat business, and they realize that they may be a 2nd or 3rd opinion for someone. If they are priced competitively, they get the business! You hear that doc, or should I say insurance company??? We want competitive pricing and more efficient ways of doing things.

What is catching on now are the quick clinics at grocery stores such as WalMart. They are usually run by a doctor or nurse practitioner (just as good as an m.d. in my opinion) and their prices are around $59 per visit or less. You can get checked out, get an R.X. and save a lot of money. If you don't have insurance, or have to pay for your own (like we all of the sudden do), check this option out! I bet my checkbook (with nothing in it) that your care will be better and more efficient. Why wouldn't you want to go back! It's how doctors can make money the right way.

Go ahead and think about that boob job, too. You might pay less than you think! Just don't go to Mexico, I've heard BAD things about that.
