I run a manufaturing business and in order for a us get a job we have to bid on the job and estimate what it would cost to do the job and in the end we can not go over the estimate or it comes out of my pocket. Why couldn't doctors do the same. I'm not talking about doctor visits or emergency medical incedents but rather is you needed a knee or hip replacement. Doing this would allow people to compare prices and features instead of just racking the insurance companies. This would also make the medical feild more competetive and push prices down. Any thoughts I would love to hear them. A lot of great points but I have one to add.

I would also add that to increase competition, that insurance companies be able to sell their products across state lines. With increased competition the price of monthly premiums will drop. The lowest premium are those with health savings accounts, which I feel is the best reform there is, personal accountability for your health.
