We can empower consumers and restore competition in health care

Posted on December 25, 2018December 25, 2018 by admin

Click below for my Op-Ed in The Hill to find out how “We can empower consumers and restore competition in health care.” “Contrast the preceding scenario with the examples of LASIK eye surgery, the inflation-adjusted prices of which declined by 25 percent between 1999 and 2011 while quality improved and cosmetic surgery, costs for which grew at less than half the rate of inflation between 1992 and 2012 although real, overall health-care prices more than doubled during this period. The critical difference? Patients typically pay for these services out-of-pocket with their own money. Restore individuals’ ownership of health spending, remove obstacles to competition and unnecessary regulations and as with other goods and services the rest will fall into place.” https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/422367-we-can-empower-consumers-and-restore-competition-in-health-care
