LASIK eye surgery cost $2,200 per eye in 2000. Today it's around $1,000 per eye despite 24 years of inflation. Meanwhile, an MRI that cost $1,200 in 2000 now costs $3,000+. The difference? LASIK operates in a free market with no insurance interference and minimal regulation. When patients pay directly, providers must compete on price and quality. LASIK clinics advertise prices, offer financing, and constantly improve technology to attract customers. Compare this to hospital procedures where prices are hidden, patients never see bills, and insurance companies negotiate opaque rates that somehow always increase faster than inflation. Cosmetic surgery follows the same pattern. Breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and other elective procedures have become more affordable and safer over decades. Surgeons invest in better techniques and equipment because they must satisfy paying customers, not insurance bureaucrats or hospital administrators focused on maximizing reimbursements. The lesson is clear: remove third-party payment systems and excessive regulation, and you get Austrian economics in action. Prices fall, quality rises, and innovation accelerates. Healthcare costs aren't rising because of aging populations or new technology—they're rising because we've destroyed the price mechanism that makes markets work.

Any other Columbus peeps out there?

Let me put some perspective in this "Hockey" situation to you all. I'm Canadian. I'm old, I'm married and been blessed with 2 boys who had some talent and played hockey Well and played at a very competitive level. I live just west of Toronto and it is a hot bed of Hockey Talent. Many NHL'rs have come from the hockey programs here. My Eldest played Defense my Youngest is a forward and still plays at University. When we went to tournament in the States I cannot tell you how damn rough...competitive and down right crazy those games/tournaments were. What was wild was, there area certain age groups in the US similar to ours that they allowed hitting, we had none, not till older and certain levels. So when we went to these tournaments we had to be prep our kids becasue (at that age) they were not prepped or ready to take hits or give them. So we had to beat with skill and talent (try). The best memories and best games I can remember were all across the border and in the end we met some fantastic American families and kids at the same time. I can say I have been fortunate that both my kids played in many championship games against US teams and damn were they intense and dirty AF (both sides) but at the end of the game there was nothing but respect and honor. Losing hurt, winning was epic but at the end of it both teams/kids/parents showed respect....and waited till next time.

Well my American friends..... CAD vs US Sunday morning - For the Gold

@FedProm We went through breast cancer, really tough on the kids. Praying for y'all. There are a lot of good outcomes nowawdays. We are 4 years from discovery. Surgery, chemo, radiation, reconstruction. Lots of prayers and tears. God is still good, though.

My daughter didn’t cry. She asked a lot of thoughtful questions and even said she thought something wasn’t right. My son on the other hand, started to cry. My wife handled the conversation explaining what we may be facing, but when she mentioned she might lose her hair, Luke broke down. That was the hardest moment. PET scan on Monday to learn whether this is localized or not.

Trump correctly pointed out that our nation was its richest in the 1880s and 1890s, but he is incorrect to attribute that wealth to tariffs. The reason we were so rich back then is that government was so tiny that we could afford to pay for it with tariffs. Back then, total federal spending was only about 2% of GDP. Today it’s over 23%. I'm with the president: let's eliminate 90% of the Federal Government, so we could pay for what's left with tariffs. Let's also eliminate the the Federal Reserve and go back to a gold standard, just like the 1890s. Let's get rid of income and Social Security taxes. Let's eliminate all the government departments created since 1890, like Commerce, Labor, Health, Education, Housing, Transportation, Energy, and Education. Let's get rid of the government agencies that didn't exist back then, like the SEC, FDIC, NCUA, CFTC, CFPB, FCC, EPA, OSHA, PBGC, FBI, CIA, TSA, and FEMA. If we repeal Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, ACA, Unemployment Insurance, SNAP, Welfare, Student loans, FHA/VA loans, SBA programs, and farm supports, to name a few. We should also repeal almost every federal law that has been passed since 1900. If we do all of that, then we can have tariffs and be rich again like we were in the 1880s and 1890s.
