[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 674840, member: 484"] why would it not have an impact? open up markets. level the playing field. not that long ago, there were market forces that kept ups from shipping within certain counties within the usa. there were forces that attempted to protect their market from any and all threats, and they spent the money needed to keep it that way. as a result, the costs of doing business within those areas were higher than they are now, that those barriers are no longer there. competition is a good thing when it comes to customers getting the best price on anything. some preventative care does have savings long term, others actually have no other impact than to increase healthcare costs. but why should insurance be required to pay for preventive care? why not pay for that out of pocket? if you quit nickle and dimeing the insurance companies to death, and being responsible for the preventative care, those costs would actually decrease. both in what the insurance companies charge to cover you, and the costs of the procedure itself. remember, 5% of the people are responsible for 70%+ of the medical costs incurred in this country. and that cost for those 5% is charged to the rest of us in higher premiums. d [/QUOTE]
