   Any opinions – ME-P advocates?

   30 Ways to Cut Your Health-Care Costs
   [A SLIDE SHOW by Kim Lankford from Kiplinger]

   If you’re like most Americans, you’re shouldering a larger portion of your health care costs.

   But, as more insurers raise deductibles and switch from fixed-dollar co-payments to coinsurance — which bases out-of-pocket expenses on a percentage of the total costs — you have an incentive to take more control over how much you spend.

   Find the least-expensive care without sacrificing quality, and you could save hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

   Battling Public Concerns Regarding Healthcare Costs

   The healthcare industry, which accounted for 17.9% of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product in 2011, is under ever-increasing scrutiny in this new era of U.S. healthcare reform. Among the high profile topics include addressing administrative and provider errors and inefficiency; lagging care coordination and delivery; reducing unnecessary care; reducing the incidence of preventable conditions; continuing to combat and reduce fraud and abuse; and, addressing failures and transparency of pricing.

   Regarding the latter, there has been a significant amount of press recently with regard to what is coined as “sticker shock” associated with the cost of care.

   While many of these topics are being addressed by various segments of the healthcare reform legislation, efforts to standardize and sustain consistent improvements in controlling hospital costs and the overuse of medical procedures and tests, as evidence by the growing body of criticism, still face immense challenges.
