Boy oh boy I wish I could take credit for this one. The folks over at http://www.centerforsmallgovernment.com/ really got some good ideas on how to reform Medicare. For example:
Allow price advertising. Let pharmacies, doctors, hospitals, and laboratories to publish their prices for goods and services. Eliminate all laws, regulations, and government provisions that hinder or prevent medical providers from posting their prices. Charges for the same medical procedure can vary 30% to 300% within a 100-mile radius. But without price information, patients can’t shop for the best value.
Man I could really go with this idea I have a sister on MediScare and sometimes they are really slow about paying and sometimes not at all. So if I knew the price going in it would really help me decide if I want to go through the hassle of using Medicare or paying for it myself.
Check out the article at http://www.centerforsmallgovernment.com/feature/6-simple-ways-to-dramatically-cut-costs-of-medical-care-at-zero-expense-to-taxpayers/ and THATS THE FINAL WORD!
