You may have to travel a bit more to get the exact care, but the cost savings will be worth it if hospitals regionalise.
Here's a great article about the new bill, that highlights both the positive and negative. One thing to keep in mind, preventative care is much cheaper than waiting for someone to need hospitalization. I have a feeling that we'll see a lot more of that with this bill.

All those stupid polls I have seen are from a bias source so they don't mean squat. You really think we rank 37th in world on health care? Don't point to the world Health Organization because they are for everyone having health ins./ national health care.
