Consumer Driven Health Plans (CDHPs) were the wave of the future but have since fallen from favor. Supporters of consumer directed plans believed that if consumers had a greater financial stake in their health care, they would fix the system by making quality and costs conscious decisions. (Remember, for most services, consumers with health insurance pay only a small portion of the cost of care. They also pay same amount whether they go to hospital A or hospital B.) As a consumer of healthcare yourself, what role do you think consumers have in health system reform and what resources will they need? (What are the barriers for you in choosing the highest quality, most cost effective care?) In formulating your answer, be sure to review the quality/cost information that is available through CMS and the Oregon Healthcare Quality Corporation.
