Healthcare transparency - websites to visit

Are you a healthcare provider? Do you know what your patients are reading? Check out Revolutionhealth.com; how about mymedicalcontrol.com? Today's NY Times even featured a story on Bargaining down the price of your CT scan....after the fact! If you are one of the 12% of the population paying more than 5% of your income every year for out of pocket healthcare costs, you have new questions for your doctor...how much and how often take on a whole new meaning. And the days of health maintenance may be the first to leave us--health prevention now costs money. Two steps forward and five back. Stay tuned.

Medical City Dallas Hospital has an interesting web page about pricing transparency. It seems this may be an example of things to come from hospitals.
