I have been Lasik'ed

[Diggles]

Lasik is the supreme case study which proves government doesnt belong in Health Care system.

Shit where government isnt footing maximum bills = people actually compare PRICES & QUALITY, so there is competition among providers.

Asking medicare providers how much a procedure or something actually costs is like talking GREEK to him.

Lasik is an elective procedure. You don't need it to live. Might as well say tattoos are the "supreme case study."

You can live without alot of stuff that IS covered and isnt elective, doesnt mean you should. Insurers would rather be making money on you buying contacts & glasses for the rest of your life. Just like how pharma companies would rather make penis pills than cure serious diseases, the revenue stream STOPS. They'd rather not cover a great use of technology to rid the world of these 'archaic eye pieces' to fix human defects because it cuts into their profit.
