Should Clients Be Rebated for Value-Shopping and Fraud Detection in Healthcare to Give Incentive?
And REQUIRE all practitioners and pharmacies to post their costs by care codes or drug?
What is killing health care is that costs are not kept in check because insurance covers small end stuff without any checks on fraud, waste, or value, and so UNINSURED people have to overpay too because nobody is shopping value and providers don’t care if they overcharge.
If you had gas insurance, you’d always buy premium whether it did you any good or not! It’s a wasteful approach. What people really need is critical care insurance and vouchers for the poor or low income and lots more community access, AND incentives to keep costs down for low end care. They did this in West Virginia and it dropped Medicaid by 30-50% immediately.
These simple measures alone are why socialized crap-care is NOT the answer, there are better ways working with the great setups we already have, to make healthcare affordable for all.
