What I like more than anything about the MSAs are that they encourage the consumer to shop around. An educated consumer will go a loooong way to reducing health care costs.

Ashley- I totally agree. I like the fact that it makes me think about how I spend my health care dollars, as opposed to just following along with what the insurance company or plan wants me to do.

As long as you are willing to educate yourself and ask the right questions on when tests should be done, if generic medications are as effective as more expensive and heavily advertised therapies, and seek the doctor’s care prudently, you will do fine. A great way to do that is with my book Stay Healthy, Live Longer, Spend Wisely, Making Intelligent Choices in America’s Healthcare System. Book excerpts are at http://www.davisliumd.com.

I agree that you need to do the research to make the best decisions on health issues.
