Expanding Regulations or Expanding Patient Choices?
|
"Does America Need a Patient Bill of Rights? Expanding Regulations or Expanding Choices?"
WHAT: WHEN:
WHERE: Sponsored by the National Center for Policy Analysis Should people be able to join a health plan that restricts choices of physicians and limits access to diagnostic tests in return for a lower premium? What recourse should they have if things later go wrong? Should they be able to sue? What if employees have no real choice, other than their employer's health plan? Some propose regulations that would virtually abolish traditional HMOs and many other forms of managed care. An alternative is to empower patients directly - through personal and portable health insurance and patient protection accounts that give people the resources to go outside their plan when circumstances warrant it.
