Why Lone Rangers Wear Masks

Here are the rules:

1. The Patient only gets ONE request per offer

2. We require the patient to register before they can make a second request on any offer.

3. If patient makes several DoneDeals and doesn’t show up then this is displayed on their profiles and access to deals are restricted.

So let’s take a Spinal MRI on FairCareMD as an example. Here we might find it listed for $1,250. The facility’s regular rate for this is $1,900. We tell you that Healthcare BlueBook, our partner that gives the average insurance payment for procedures in any zip code in America, says $663. So request a Fair Price and you will probably get it in seconds. If you go too low just wait for the doctor to counter or register and go find another offer to request a price on.

Let’s imagine for a moment that there is a company in charge of keeping you healthy.  Who should own the stock and be responsible for profit and performance, customer service and care?  Should it be publicly traded, entrusted to others, or should you hold that stock yourself and not let anyone else have any?  Who [...]
