Jason Beans, CEO of Rising Medical Solutions, Inc. (Rising), a leading medical-financial solutions organization, discusses logical solutions needed for healthcare reform in his latest interview on the topic for OurBlook.com - an online community dedicated to dialogue and debate to get new ideas into the public sphere.
With healthcare being at the forefront of the national agenda, OurBlook.com interviewed various industry insiders to examine the debate taking place. For this report, a diverse team of experts provided input on the current system, healthcare reform, and provided law makers with advice.
Beans' interview focuses on his concern about government taking on healthcare reform because of the current recession and our country's high deficit levels. Beans believes that various improvements can be made in the healthcare industry without having to drive up the deficit, such as laws to reduce healthcare plan monopolization in certain areas, lessening of government regulations that currently require excessive medical treatment, and the introduction of consumerism into our healthcare system.
"Healthcare is the only industry where consumers don't know the price before they buy the service, thus causing it to be uncompetitive. Once consumerism is part of healthcare, many of these debates will go away because a competitive, consumer-driven model has controlled costs and improved quality in every other industry," comments Beans. "My number one message to Congress is to look at logical, non-deficit adding solutions for healthcare reform first."
