Opinion: Market-driven medicine

“While it is morally and ethically a necessity to take care of those who are without adequate resources, those able should accept first-dollar responsibility for their medical costs by contributing to HSAs (health savings accounts) and purchasing high-deductible insurance. If you control where you buy care, you are more likely to see a market-driven economy resulting in reduced medical costs. Most important, take personal responsibility for your own health. In large part, health is the sum of choices we make individually.”
