					<description><![CDATA[Making healthcare cheaper by saving money on billing data, etc. is saving money on clerks and bookkeepers.  Whether the amount is large or small, it has no effect on the amount of healthcare provided (except perhaps by doctors who do their own billing, of which I know of none).

A problem with your solution to the problem of pre-existing conditions is that it isn&#039;t clear how to attribute costs with multiple causes (e.g. osteoporosis found during coverage by one company, person falls off a ladder while covered by another, and gets a lot more bones broken than someone without osteoporosis would).  But I suspect the companies would come up with some way to handle that, mostly because they&#039;ll be on both sides equally so won&#039;t really care.]]></description>
