Paul, Now writing to my sweet spot. This is already more-than-interesting and reinforces a speech about the disconnect of the individual from the whole health care system. This has an inverse effect (which you may get to) that is unrelated to pricing and efficiency/efficacy -- because the patient never actually directly pays for much of anything, the entire system (especially IT where I spend lots of time) is constructed around everything EXCEPT the patient -- putting together a record on a patient that is useful, useable and used is virtually impossible. This deprecates the quality of all care and is, by itself, likely responsible for $250B/year of wasted expense.

So important topic and your insights are already adding data to my stack that will be useful and used!

Many thanks.
