Introduction
The purpose of choosing this particle article on: Increased health care cost sharing works as intended: It burdens patients who need care the most by Gould 2013. The fact that it addresses on Cost containments within the healthcare industry, caught my attention. As we all, are fully aware on the cost of health within the U.S has and will always be a perceptible issue, one we all keep running in circles on trying to find ways to better our health care issues, by proposing different healthcare policies, that have merged in the past and all share a common goal: such as having “household instantly pay for sizable share of the most health expenditures by motivating costly deductible, copays and higher co-insurance rates (Gould 2013). Cost container will also help to maintain unnecessary spending expenses, reducing such expenses will leave not only the patient but all consumer involved to improving in profit eliminating future damage. Not only for the future but in doing so the unnecessary expenses, will decrease, therefore will help with reducing within marketing have efforts that will help encouraged new business.
The problem is that the proposal was set forth due to uneconomical insurance policy, that are either provided by public, employer or Medicare insurance, that falsify the prices that the consumer face and according to the article, by removing the distortion it will allow patients to wisely pick and choose what healthcare best suited for his or her needs, which in turn help improve and slow down healthcare cost growth (Gould 2013). The object in the end is so that the patients can make an educated decision on what healthcare insurance to purchase, leaving the patient with choices as if he or she would choose by other household goods as well as services. Those who will have choice will stay positive
