Medical Care: Free markets increase access & quality while lowering costs.

The Surgery Center of Oklahoma, http://surgerycenterok.com, founded by Keith Smith, MD, works directly with patients to provide high quality care at prices often 80% lower than what "non-profit" hospitals charge. By kicking the government and insurance companies out of the operating room quality goes up, prices go down, and patients can make more informed decisions about their medical care. In addition, the uninsured and under-insured who otherwise often find long waiting lines, are welcome at Dr. Keith Smith's center.

Hi Dr. Smith, thanks for sending this link to me. I will certainly share it. Price transparency (free market) is the key to healthcare reform. All insurance plans should be "indemnity" style with no networks, and they should only be for bankruptcy protection (not routine care). It's as easy as pie to fix, but did your speech fall upon deaf ears? I honestly feel that our government will never follow your lead!

Thank you sir, when people use the free market to profit and to provide their service well, it makes me happy!
