The Upshot

Shopping for Health Care Simply Doesn’t Work. So What Might?

It’s often too complicated. And even when it isn’t, almost no one does it.

"Even if 40 percent of health care is shoppable, people are not shopping. What seems likelier to work is doing more to influence what doctors advise.
For example, we could provide physicians with price, quality and distance information for the services they recommend. Further, with financial bonuses, we could give physicians (instead of, or in addition to, patients) some incentive to identify and suggest lower-cost care.
Leaving decisions to patients, and making them spend more of their own money, doesn’t work."

The Republican party is using the wrong model.
The use of that model is rationing of a commodity that is perceived to be scarce.
