    I remember when I worked for a grocery store as a kid and someone shared their idea about eradicating checkers for self checkout machines.

    All things run their course and make way for the next wave. Ever hear of online refractions? Stay ahead of the curve. For the present, third party plans gotta go......................and they will.................."if I have to do it myself!" said the little red optometrist. Peace. Alan Frank,OD

    If enough providers quit supporting the crappy 3rd party business model, the whole system could evolve into something better. Be the change you wish to see.

    It would be nice but it'll never happen. there's another way. it would be easier for me to explain on phone. dr. frank 570-371-1324. It has to do with going directly to major insurers and bypassing the third party knuckleheads. call me.

    I'm ok. I am a provider who does not play with 3rd party plans. It works for me.

    You should prepare yourself for the day when single payer comes. And it will come. Imagine if the gov chooses Davis to be the administrator. That need to be eradicated now and it can and will be done.

    I believe single payer will be the game changer and is why Big Insurance is so against it and why we should be for it.

    Now I'm on thin ice as this is political so I'll stop now and ask drk to please choose any reply carefully;)

    We will all be saved by the avalanche from ESSILUX mountain! There's no way they would let single payer vision benefits stoop to DAVIS levels!

    I don't know about y'all, but I sure am looking forward to calling a doctor from the internet so I can find out how naive I am.

    Obviously he's selling something. If not, why not share this fabulous idea with all of us. At no charge?

    I didn't call. Too busy making glasses for people who aren't using 3rd party plans.

    FYI, when OptiBoard sent a Happy Birthday email to afrank, he replied with:

    Thanks. But I have to be honest, I've found optiboard to be pretty worthless.

    ...............and narrow minded.
