What they do know is that they are paying more and getting less. The election of a new President who says he will solve "their" problems leaves them out of the equation. A broad national debate and discussion of the issues (and not just inside the beltway) may generate an ever increasing percentage of informed citizens who will voice their needs. Let's not kid ourselves that the juggernaut of lobbiest and politicians will deliver meaningful change without them.

Enthoven is just another uneducated voice talking about the healthcare industry. These group practices are referred to as MSO's or Medical Service Organizations. Doctors group together to form MSO's because they get paid more for doing so. In addition, these doctors will only refer within their group even if the patients best interest is to go elsewhere. The fact is that MSO doctors get paid more to do the same job as a doctor not affiliated with an MSO. In addition, the groups make for a much more corrupt healthcare system.
