Insurers agree to share health-care prices online

Before you can be a savvy shopper, you have to know the prices.

The trend toward consumers becoming more responsible for health-care spending decisions grew stronger Wednesday as three major health insurers said they will partner with a nonprofit group to share information about prices and quality of medical services via an online portal.

Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and Humana are expected to be joined soon by other insurers in sharing their massive amounts of price data, which the Health Care Cost Institute hopes to give the public free access to beginning in early 2015.

The move, which among other things will allow price-comparison shopping by consumers, comes amid a complicated ongoing effort to control health-care costs, which at $2.7 trillion annually account for nearly 20 percent of the entire U.S. economy.

Yup- Almost TWENTY per cent, twice as much as anybody else, for a Pub/crony scam...not ANYMORE, dingbats.

Well except you can go on any of the Companies websites right now and find out what their plans cost franco, but then SURELY you already knew that?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Funny, I never had any trouble finding out how much something would cost, but you want to give Obama credit for it anyway because they agreed to do something they already do.

 

[bedowin62]

the obama asministration is generally regarded as the most NON-TRANSPARENT in history

but since you're a racially-misguided left-wing loser you wont be bothered with facts


even the Editor of the left-wing New York Times has complained about the lack of transparency of this Administration

idiots and hypocrites

 

[Antares]

But hey franco has TWO degrees just ask him!!!!!!

 

[buckeye45_73]

Another franco thread.......its my lucky day..



so franco wanted obamacare to show pricedata? Im pretty sure we can do that and if not, couldnt we have just passed a law to do that?

but heyfranco is making progress, hes advocating people look up prices without doing it for them? Baby steps guys baby steps.

"One of" being the key phrase. I immediately thought of 5 others who would give him a run for his welfare check (almost said money).

Indeed. But if it has never been transparent before, and then becomes so, that is a milestone worthy of praise.


However, if someone shopping on an exchange is limited by government regulations to only being able to buy from Aetna and is not allowed to buy from Humana, for example, then all the transparency in the world is virtually useless.

That has been the problem under which our country has suffered since long before Obama even went to college. We do not have a system where you can pick up the telephone and buy your health insurance the same way you buy your auto insurance. The government has established health insurance fiefdoms and we are the serfs.

Getting health insurance is more like getting cable TV than it is like getting auto insurance. You have limited options, and thus limited consumer power. And that is BOGUS!!!
