Couldn't agree more. I am an Indian and when I first came to US, my biggest surprise was that jobs would advertise 'health insurance' as a benefit. I never understood it till I had to obtain medical care. If you want to experience true free market health care, you must go to India. Whenever I visit India, I make sure to get my teeth cleaning done. Person in my home town has a choice to get teeth cleaning done from 500 INR (7$) to 3500 INR (55$). On the low end, you get a clinic which is not in the hip part of the town, equipment is not the latest and greatest and the waiting room will be non air conditioned. On the higher end, the clinic will be fully air conditioned, serve you tea/coffee and will use the latest equipment. On my last trip, a real dentist (not a hygienist) performed my teeth cleaning and they took my teeth x-ray using those new machines where you stand up and the machine takes 360 degree scan. After the cleaning, the doctor took me to her office and reviewed the x-ray with me and then gave me a CD with all the x-ray images so that I can use them with my next doctor in case I decide to go somewhere else.
