Maybe not as good as promised. Not one for-profit business passes on savings from improving itself. It would be MUCH cheaper to keep and share records electronically. Don't expect an efficiency kick-back. Insurance companys would soon lap up the extra blood they smell by way of their policies. Naivety is not good. (i hope i didn't spoil the optimistic spirit of this site) P.S. - Insurance coverage is NOT health care. It is a leach on what is necessary.
