Getting Medical Care with Twice the Quality AND Half the CostYour chances of getting the established standard of care from your doctor or hospital is the same as getting heads from a coin toss: 50/50. This medical quality problem, combined with a massively wasteful provider billing and collection system, has been a major cause of waste in the medical system. Correcting these two problems could reduce medical costs by at least half, while doubling quality. Health reform expert Stephen Hyde provides a lively discussion of these issues, along with innovative ways we can deal with them.
The Key to Health Reform That Works: Consumer Power!Achieving effective health care reform is actually simple. Just figure out how to get American consumers to demand the answers to two questions:
1. Quality For my medical conditions, which healthcare providers offer the highest quality, most appropriate care?
2. Price Of those top providers, which will do it for the lowest cost?
Making this dynamic work in healthcare requires fundamental insurance reform and innovative competition among insurers, doctors, and hospitals.
Insurance company executives, agents, medical providers, consumers, employers,the poor and the elderly all have huge stakes in the outcome of health reform, yet few understand how it will affect them. Veteran healthcare insider Stephen Hyde strips away the myths and misconceptions of the major reform proposals and lays out the consequences -intended and otherwise - for all the key players..
Are State Health Insurance Exchanges the Future of Health Reform?REgardless of how health reform pans out at the national level, it is increasingly apparent that the action is already shifting to state-run health insurance exchanges, some going far beyond anything imagined by the Congress. Massachusetts already has its Health Connector; Utah it's just launches Health Exchange, and legislators in Colorado are showing interest in getting a jump on any federal mandates by implementing one much sooner. Steve Hyde, author of the definitive book on individual health insurance markets, provides an up-to-date discussion of this phenomenon, including the promises and pitfalls for legislators, regulators, consumers, medical providers, insurers and virtually any other player in the health insurance space.

He has a gift for cutting through the myths and misconceptions of health care and getting down to the core issues.
