“Dr. G. Keith Smith and the co-founder of Surgery Center, Dr. Steve Lantier, left the medical mainstream in the 1990s. Determined to establish a market-oriented surgery facility, they were told by colleagues at big hospitals and representatives of big insurers that it would never work. Back in those early days, Smith walked by faith—faith in the market and in human motivations. Today, the Surgery Center of Oklahoma has garnered international attention. Keith Smith is now both a passionate libertarian and a kind of evangelist for transparent health care pricing—medical service free of both government and insurance company mandates.”
