Let's make deal..on healthcare services

Millions of Americans have lost their jobs. The unemployemnt rate in Texas is at about 8%. That sounds really bad until you compare it to California's unemployment rate. We've got it pretty good but not good enough. That's why some very sharp people created PriceDoc.com. Think William Shatner and Priceline.com and you're on the right track.

PriceDoc.com is a website that allows people to shop for the best deals on healthcare, from doctors and dentists to weightloss. Just type in your zip code and up pops a list of doctors and the procedures they offer. Here's the deal: You pay in cash or credit to get the good deal. You can even name your price and if there is a doctor willing to do it for that price, you're in. I'm told most of the people who use PriceDoc.com are either uninsured or underinsured, but people with high co-pays or have limited electives with their insurance are also using the service.

Obviously, it's not for everyone, but If people use it and like, I'm all for it.
