: So, as health care consumers, what would you prefer? Pay more for health care and have the latest technology easily and conviently accessable or pay less and have to travel to this wonderful technology?
: As a health care consumer, I would rather pay more for my care than travel 2-3 hours for care. My belief is that if you have to travel, you really do not know who is going to take care of you. Also, the patient is
in a strange place, around healthcare workers he/she do not know.
Technology is always changing and we must demand as consumers the best technology for our money. It is our lives that we dealing with and until all consumers demand high quality care, we will continue to be taken advantage of.
