Exactly. I am not sure when we decided price was more important than
service and quality (probably around 1980-90) but things have gone
down hill since then.
---------------------------
That's about the same time frame that health insurance plans introduced
"HMOs". People loved the fact that they could just pay $5 for a
doctor's office visit. Look what happened.
People looking for cheap deals usually get exactly what they want and
eventually they pay the price.
HMO's were a lot earlier than 1980. Kaiser System was probably the
original.
*******s screwed up the medical services market.
