The problem with the idea of "shopping for care" is two-fold. First and foremost, a significant portion of care, especially the more expensive types of care, become needed suddenly and unexpectedly, so there is little to no chance for comparison shopping. Secondly, individuals just don't have the economic clout needed to extract price concessions from the oligarchic hospital industry. Personally, I think the best reform one could make in restructuring how our health-care system works would be to require that health insurance be run on a non-profit model. That would insure that insurance works on behalf of the insured and provide the needed counterweight to the hospital industry.
