Medicare creates pricing problem

Transforming the medical marketplace into a normal marketplace begins with eliminating Medicare price fixing. The free market system works when physicians are allowed to set their own prices and patients control their own health care dollars. Patients must have the incentive to seek out the best value for the lowest cost. The best way to accomplish this is through Consumer Driven Health Care (CDHC). Numerous authors have written books on this topic. One of the main features of CDHC is Health Savings Accounts (HSA). To get complete free market competition, the Stark Laws and Certificate of Need laws need to be repealed. In addition to HSAs, other reforms such as making health coverage portable, eliminating mandated benefits from health plans, and allowing individuals and families to purchase medical insurance with tax-free dollars will lower costs. All of these actions will help make the medical marketplace more competitive, but until the Medicare price fixing is eliminated, the National Health Expenditure projections will continue to rise.
