P9280256: Shopping around Lasik (19M) - Arm Surgery Games
One thing is expansion of health savings accounts. ...get back to that slide about how you and I used to pay 47 cents and now we pay 13 cents? Well, I'd rather not pay a nickle out of my pocket in terms of a mechanism to keep the prices down. The more skin you've got in the game, the better off for everybody because it's going to be more price-elastic; you're going to go to where the best deal is. If you have orthoscopic surgery on your knee or you break your arm, you're going to see a doctor, and you're not going to worry about price. But if you have an optional surgery as in the case of Lasik or a plastic surgery, what do you do? You shop around. And maybe you want to have the operation locally, maybe you want to go to Jacksonville to do it; maybe you want to go to Alabama. Shopping it around would bring down the cost of health care. Commentary: So why do health insurance premiums keep going several times faster than salaries?
