thats funny, Texas was the exact state I was thinking of when I made the comment. Obviously you and I are relying on different information. But I wont be so rude as to call you ignorant for having an opinion that differs from mine.
Not necessarily cheaper. Doctor's fees do not drive up health care costs. Hospitalization, procedures, treatments, technicians--that's the driver of increased costs. Except for some surgeries, your doctor's fee on your hospital bill is a pittance compared to the rest of the charges.
