The real way to solve this problem is to get the patients motivated and involved in their own care and treatment decisions. In a free market, driven by true choice, patients have the responsibility of learning more independently about their diagnosis, treatment options, and their physician. By doing research, a patient may be driven to get a second or third opinion when faced with a diagnosis like cancer. By utilizing healthcare savings accounts (HSA) and high deductible low premium insurance plans, patients are driven to find the best doctor with the lowest prices. This is how the invisible hand works, choice and competition on each side of the market. The result- A decrease in price and an increase in quality.
