我们需要的是一个全国性的服务提供者网络,能够围绕一份统一标准化的合同向雇主提供 现金自费价格(cash pay pricing),并向患者提供一份简单易懂的价格清单。

每家机构仍然可以按照自己的意愿定价,就像现在一样。

雇主将节省成本。

医疗服务提供者的行政成本会大幅下降。

保险公司将不得不按市场价格支付医疗服务费用。

整个游戏规则都会改变。

那么,谁来组建这个网络?

如果医院足够聪明,他们应该合作来建立这一体系。

否则,他们很快就将面对单一支付(single payer)或全民医疗体系(universal healthcare)的冲击,躲都躲不掉。

如果你想取代《平价医疗法案》(ACA)?

这同样是第一步。

它解决了“这到底要花多少钱”这个问题。

剩下的只有两个问题:

“你如何支付医疗费用?”

以及 “当患者负担不起现金价格时,由谁承担风险?”

但这是下一篇文章的讨论内容。
