Myrl Weinbeg, president of the National Health Council, has written an article on lowering the cost of healthcare from the patient’s viewpoint in The American Journal of Pharmacy Benefit.

"Despite having the most costly healthcare system in the world, the United States consistently under performs on most (healthcare) dimensions relative to other countries,” she writes.

Weinberg suggests that easy availability of information for patients—especially those with chronic health conditions—and involving patients in healthcare decisions, is needed to help lower costs.
