I'M GLAD THEY ARE BEING CONSCIENTIOUS ABOUT $$$ BUT HOPEFULLY NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF PT CARE. MY OLDEST SON CHRIS IS STUDYING TO BE A N.P. IT IS THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE. I JUST HOPE WE WILL ALL BU GIVEN A CHOICE OF WHERE WE GO, IE, MEXICO, FRANCE ETC., FOR MED CARE. TOO BAD WE ONLY RECOGNIZE OUR OWN EXPERTISE. IT SHOULD BE A WORLDWIDE THING LIKE FREE TRADE, & THE EURO $$. I THINK ONCE PEOPLE HAD A BROADER CHOICE, THE MARKET WOULD CALM DOWN, AND BECOME MORE AFFORDABLE.
