Consumers using grocery insurance would have no real say or insensitive in what groceries they get - it doesn't matter if all they need is some chicken and a cheap wine. All the grocery store sells are filet mignon and Dom Perignon, and that's what everyone gets.

With healthcare, it goes the other way too.

When my kid gets a deep gash, disfiguring an eyebrow or messing with an important finger, I'd be willing to pay extra for a surgeon to sit there with a microscope putting all the little capillaries and nerves back together. I'm offered a staple, or some glue, or maybe a couple stitches. No, I really don't like zig-zag eyebrows and stiff numb fingers.

Anybody know how to get the good treatment?
