Three steps to curb health care costs proposed
Hugh MacMenamin argues for cost containment through three policies: cap insurance margins at five percent and convert all insurers to not for profit, restore patient input with 15 percent co payments to encourage cost awareness and value shopping, and end direct marketing of prescription drugs and medical devices. He cites U.S. high spending, WHO rankings, and insurance dynamics in Cedar Rapids.
