I thank all the witnesses for their contributions to this very positive discussion. We are all agreed that we need to reduce the cost of health insurance to the consumer. The witnesses all come from their own particular vantage point, but for us it is all about the consumer. One of the themes that emerged related to the work being done by Pat McLaughlin. We have had many good ideas and suggestions this morning. I hope all the witnesses, in conjunction with the committee, the Department and the HIA, will work to ensure we have a market that is stable and which incentivises people to avail of health insurance.
