I would argue that if you purchase a Health Care & Insurance Service plan from a megacorp, that corporation should be responsible for providing medical education and advocacy services to their customers.
Eg. If you have a plan with Blue Cross, they should have both software and individuals that can advise and be a resource to you. Maybe these are medical students, or some 2 year medical advocacy degree, RN, pharmacist - someone with some experience working/studying in the health care industry. So you go to the doctor and the doctor says, this is my diagnosis, here is a treatment plan, you call up your Health Care Advocate and they review with you as a second set of eyes on the issue. Maybe it all checks out, maybe there is a generic that could save you a ton of money, maybe there is a new drug that works better and your doctor was just going through the motions and isn't up to date on the drugs for your particular issue, but either way, having someone else there to help you get the best care would be a huge benefit, and thus a huge industry opportunity.
