I’m sure that Professor Reinhardt will be accused of being Professor Scrooge. But what he says is true nonethless.
Hard to argue, so I will agree. That said, the lack of a responsible, accountable system with such waste has to start to correct itself and esatablish a “found money” program to succeed. Free market is not enough. Redesign payment with value based purchasing. Publicly report on outcomes. Incent patients to go to high value, low cost systems through their co-pays, use shared savings models.
Just do not say we have no money so let’s not fix it.
