What good is health insurance without access to health care? That’s Obamacare for you. Why are we spending too much on healthcare? What happened to consumerism in healthcare? These are several of the questions that are asked and answered in the fourth episode of Healthcareonomics – The Radio Show.
Healthcareonomics airs on Sunday at 4 p.m. on 570 KLIF in Dallas, Texas. In addition to finding the podcasts here, you can listen to them on iTunes. Dr. Kevin Wacasey, who owns and manages the Colleyville Medical Clinic in Colleyville, Texas, is the creator and co-host of Healthcareonomics.
Open enrollment at HealthCare.gov (which has nothing to do with health care) is underway. Remember, it’s not the cost of health care that is so outrageous, it’s the charges! Learn how The Wacasey Equation proves that you should throw out the deductible, and forget co-pays, too, when choosing a health insurance plan.
Who are the “usual suspects” in the costs versus charges of healthcare? when deciding on your health insurance plan. There’s nothing wrong with the healthcare system. Rather, it’s how we are paying for it! Why should you pay $10 for an aspirin when you are in the hospital? How should a medical clinic be run in present day?
