At the moment, it is the employers who pay the bulk of insurance premiums that actually have the power of the consumer. We should be the consumers in the sense that we have the choices to go in the health care market where we wish, but few of us have that choice. For most, we are given a choice of one or two health plans chosen by our employers, even though we are diverse and our health care needs are diverse.
I think y'all should check out the website of the organization, COALITION OF HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS AND CONSUMERS. Tellingly, their address is http://nomanagedcare.org/
