Consumers hold the key to easing the healthcare crisis

Consumers hold the key to easing the healthcare crisis : " In America, consumerism is making an impact in nearly every corner of the economy but the doctor's office. Change is needed, and more is required than a Band-Aid fix. The answer is to unleash the time-tested and unmatched power of the knowledgeable and motivated consumer. In a just-published Position Paper, Destiny Health outlines a series of reforms it believes are required if true consumerism is to make its cost-reducing and quality-enhancing impact felt in the health care arena."
The question should not be - Are consumers smart enough to make their own health-care decisions ? The question should be - How can we provide consumers with the tools and the technology so that they can make their own health-care decisions !
