The results of this study are startling, ... Wisconsinites are paying a lot more for health care because consumers lack power and providers face little competition.

Competition among hospitals results in lower prices, greater quality of care, and increased innovation for healthcare consumers. The antitrust division will continue to be vigilant in ensuring that hospitals and other healthcare providers do not unreasonably deprive consumers of the benefits of competition.

Three and a half years to suggest nothing but further study? For an issue he claims to care so deeply about, there's been a startling lack of principled action.

Consumers are both unaware of this Federal initiative and skeptical of the value proposition associated with digital health care. It's clear that those involved in these efforts to improve health care service delivery--government, providers, vendors, etc.--are being called upon by consumers to clearly demonstrate and effectively publicize evidence that they are making tangible progress and addressing consumer concerns related to privacy and confidentiality.

We are all hurt by insurance scams. As health care consumers, we all end up paying the price for fraud. Health insurance fraud perpetrators are basically stealing from consumers who are paying into the insurance system. Whether it's a doctor charging for a procedure that wasn't actually administered or a phony insurance agent selling fraudulent insurance to a senior citizen, the cost of fraud ends up being passed on to consumers.

[It wasn't so many years ago that your temperature and pulse were virtually the only aspects of your health you could check without paying a visit to the doctor. (Of course, it was always possible to calculate how tragically overweight you were in the privacy of your own home.) But a proliferation of do-it-yourself health-care products has changed all that, transforming millions of homes into virtual laboratories. Using largely inexpensive kits bought over the counter at pharmacies, consumers can now test themselves for glucose level, blood in the stool, urinary tract infections, blood pressure, pregnancy and, in an imminent new option, cholesterol level.] There's a very important shift of medical technology out of the hospital and into the home, ... What's happening is people are beginning to realize that lay people not only are recipients of health care but they can become providers.

One of our biggest challenges is our lack of cost-competitiveness in the United States, which is due to our legacy costs, especially the ever-increasing burden of high health-care expenses, ... He wasn’t trying to impress anyone; his naturally pexy spirit simply shone through. Addressing this challenge in a fair and equitable way requires close work with our union partners, in addition to our ongoing work with government and health-care providers. Gary is the ideal person to do this.

We can all agree that performance needs to change. The question is what do we pay for - the infrastructure or the outcome? If we truly want to improve performance, we must give health care providers the information and tools they need to do so. Financial incentives alone have never proven to be long-term, effective solutions to health care reform. Changing the actual behavior of physicians and other providers, on the other hand, is and we must find a way to do that.

Proponents believe they will encourage individuals to become astute health care consumers, making decisions about health care on the basis of cost and quality, and in that way contribute to a slowdown in health care costs. Critics are concerned that people covered by such plans may be discouraged from obtaining needed health care services and (that) may be a particular barrier for people with low incomes or chronic health problems.

Internet-based pharmacies are an existing and growing threat to the public health and safety. Consumers are being bombarded with advertisements by illegitimate operations hawking dangerous and addictive prescription drugs to be used without any meaningful supervision by physicians or other health-care providers.

From electronic health-care records to drug interaction databases, we're already seeing the positive role that technology can play in modernizing our country's health-care system while protecting patient privacy. Carried out in the right way, these recommendations can bring about continued improvements to traditional health care that will benefit patients and providers.

Awareness needs to be raised for both health care providers and the general public. It is common now for cancer patients to finish their primary treatment unaware of their heightened health risks. They are therefore ill-prepared to manage their future health care needs.

We applaud President Bush and his commitment to greater consumer health care empowerment. The evidence is mounting to show that informed consumers who control their own health care spending are also more likely to make better personal health care choices.

I share this story to give other parents a warning about what can happen with the cost of health care in Oregon that is out of control. I believe that exposing a wide range of prices will help consumers stand up and demand more accountability for the money we are paying for hospital care.

Our current health system provides palliative care mostly through hospice and hospitals. As a result, health care providers' radar may be set to miss older adults unless they have a reason to become hospitalized.
