We Need a National Fee Schedule

John Dante, FSA, MAAA, FCA, has written an essay "The U.S. Health Care Revolution" on pages 40-43 of the September 2010 issue of Health Watch, published by the Society of Actuaries.

His number one recommendation for bringing down the cost of health care in the US is the adoption of a National Fee Schedule, so that everyone pays the same for the same service: Medicare, insurers, consumsers, and especially the uninsured.
