Fire the Insurance Company
Greg Scandlen at Consumers for Health Care Choices has pointed out that one likely reason for WellPoint's need to jack up premiums for consumer-driven policies is that the company failed to cut overhead, and required the same bureaucratic adjudication processes for patients' spending below the deductible as above the deductible. What a waste of effort! No insurer should adjudicate a claim until you hit your deductible. In the case of consumer-driven plans, this means that most primary-care physicians would be freed from the bureaucracy, as you suggest.
