        @sarahkliff are these #s all referring to spending? "an 18% decline in physician office visits, and a 6% decrease in mental health services"

        @coreymutter @maggiemahar The RAND Health insurance experiment showed this in 1975 i.e. well before @sarahkliff @ezraklein were born!

        @sarahkliff @ezraklein Haven't we known this? Only 5-15% of the healthcare dollar is even theoretically shoppable

        @sarahkliff @ezraklein Exc. piece on high-deductible plans show patients don't shop for cheaper docs, they just use less care.

        @sarahkliff @ezraklein Just 1 important point Kloff omits: patients Don't WANT a cheaper doctor. They believe (wrongly)pricier docs R better

        @sarahkliff @ezraklein This is a great piece. I also still find it very difficult to find out prices in advance for routine procedures.

        @sarahkliff @ezraklein (Meaning, that may also contribute here; I find it really hard to "shop" for health care.)

        @sarahkliff @ezraklein If you've been *sick* you know 80% is fear, just to start "shopping" 20% is you're too sick, and thus freeze up worry
