Take charge of your health care

 
clipped from money.cnn.com
There’s a movement afoot to make you directly pay more of the bill for your health care. The theory is that this will make you more choosy and that you’ll put more effort into comparing costs and researching doctors and hospitals.
 

Get to know your doctor
 
  • Board certified is best.
  • Make sure she’s had practice.
  • Check for evidence of screwups.
  • Know the price (as best you can).
 

The right hospital
 
  • Just like doctors, hospitals get better with experience.
  • Does the hospital have high standards?
  • See how well the patients fare.
  • Brace yourself for the big bill.
