What Accountable Health Care Means - Richard Gunderman - The Atlantic

What Accountable Health Care Means - Richard Gunderman - The Atlantic:

"One of the reasons our health-care system is ailing is the fact that we habitually insulate decision makers from the consequences of their choices. Many patients have no idea of the costs that are being generated when their physician orders a test or performs a procedure. As a matter of fact, many health-care professionals, including colleagues of mine in the medical profession, have little idea of the retail prices or actual payments collected for the work we do every day."
