Great, thank you for that link. I look forward to listening to him during breakfast tomorrow.

I agree that concierge practices sound like a better approach, at least as a primary source for health care. It would be the same as insurance for the smaller things. Leaving insurance to cover larger things. As far as I can tell the worst of the problem is caused by insurances and the related need for medical billers. Another interesting group are the Ideal Medical Practice Doctors. They work with minimal staff and use cheaper technology so they can lower the cost per patient and spend more time with the patients. One doctor I have heard has zero staff.
