Provider Competition Key to Health Care Reform

We must act. Congress and the opinionators are plowing ahead on health care reform that is the wrong cure for the wrong problem. Committed to competition among insurers (with a public option to add competition), they entirely miss the key point: Too many resources are wasted and too much pain is caused by the presence of inept organizations who provide crummy, expensive care because they aren't filtered from the system. Why aren't they? When you decide where to get care, you lack information sufficient to pick the most effective and most efficient, so you trust your wealth and well being to a blind draw. This drives business to those who don't deserve it and away from those who do. Here are some ideas. Let me know what you think we should add, modify, or delete. 1. Visibility about information. Without it, we're picking providers by shooting in the dark. Let providers compete. 2. Bona fide competition among insurers, so we get the best _portable_ plans at the best price. 3. A social safety net for the underprivileged who cannot provide for themselves. I’m sorely convinced that if we don’t act, what comes out of Washington may actually be worse than what we have. Certainly, it will be much worse than it can be or should be. Related posts:

Patients with Dizziness - Audiology's Perspective

This article by Ives nicely describes the role of audiologists in distinguishing among major dizziness types. I especially like the author's integrating such reimbursement items as proper coding into the article's clinical context.

School-based health centers deliver needed health care services

In your article commentary, "We don't need more doctors" (CNN 5/13/09), you wrote:

"There IS a shortage of health care services being provided, but many of them are not best offered by a doctor. All parents know the experience of worrying whether their child has an ear infection -- treatment involves considerable pleading for a standby appointment at the doctor's office, followed by a long wait, a 30-second visit with the doctor, and then a trip to the pharmacy for another long wait.
