In a word no....I have worked in that industry for 25+ years...Right now I work for a major manufacturer of Laboratory equipment. Healthcare has been hit heard by managed care...That was supposed to hold down costs...but the way the HMO's hold down cost is to limit access, limit care and give the profits to CEO's.

I could tell you stories....I think it would be the end to healthcare in the US.

Just look at the industries that have been deregulated.....

The Airline Industry....Its a mess and I fly usually everyweek twice a week.
The Energy Utilities.....The rates went through the roof and then we had Enron.
The Mortgage and Banking Industry.....Check out last week.

Don't you remember that one of the biggest back dating of stock options was at United Healthcare... I'll give you a link....
