If we go by past records, we will find that medical care consumers do not shop for health care depending on the results they get; rather, it is perceived that all health care is more or less the same, and that the costlier the health care, the better would be the health care provided.

The need of the hour is for medical reform to not be the creation of self-created feeling of need, but rather it should be based on informed decisions and acted on when the time is right. There is little doubting the fact that each medical care reform proposal will be backed by many case studies and demonstrable facts, and when such facts as well as proposals are filtered, it should enable one to determine whether such medical reforms will increase, or reduce the value of health care that the patient receives, and thus should form the basis for accepting or rejecting such medical care reforms.
