Stossel - Sick in America, Part 6

September 26th, 2008 | by Brian Schwartz |

Continued from Part 5.

Topics:

  • Competition has begun to improve America’s health care. Example, laser eye surgeons, cosmetic surgeons.  Costs decreases, quality increases.  Patients pay doctors directly.
  • Medical clinics staffed by nurse practioners.  Inexpensive routine care.  E.g., RediClinic, MinuteClinic.
  • Doctors who do not accept insurance.  E.g., Patmos EmergiClinic.   Uninsured patients save money, providers keep costs down.  Here’s their price list.
  • 30 seconds about an Elvis special (had to warn you.)
