re: #834 Spare O’Lake

all correct. and all examples of our current system, a system from which i advocate some departure. therefore the behavior i am proposing does not currently happen because we have no incentive to make price one of our criteria.

i simply have far more faith than you or Obdicut that price CAN become one of our criteria. i know it’s a more important decision than picking the right plumber, so what?

we should be taking all the time in the world to pick the right health care provider, and spending cash from your deductible (that you have in your pocket because you’re no longer paying such a huge insurance bill) puts no limits on your choice of basic provider.

btw, let me pause and thank those who are disagreeing with me for the civil and fascinating discussion. i’m really enjoying this. keep the challenges coming.
