Thanks for asking my opinion. I only had a chance to skim the first and last couple pages of the article (late day at work…) I agree that this article is well written and presents some interesting arguments, but my brief skimming of the article he seemed to be suggest a free market philosophy to drive healthcare costs down. He also seemed to suggest that people should pay for their preventative care like we pay for gas in our car. I don’t see our healthcare choices like other consumer choices. Most people agree that the best care is obtained when you stick with one provider (the concept of a “medical home”) the quality of your care will likely go down if you go shopping around every time you have a new healthcare need. Also expecting people without resources to pay for preventative is just never going to happen and they’ll still end up in the ER with illnesses that have progressed.
Sorry, I didn’t have time to comment on the many of the other points, but I figured better to keep it short anyway…
