ARE YOU A HEALTHCARE PRISONER?
DALLAS, TX, December 09, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If one would judge by the rhetoric and lip-service coming from the healthcare industry, all is fine and getting better. The reality, however, is the healthcare landscape has changed significantly in a very short period of time and not for the betterment of the patient or consumer. Healthcare consumers and patients are finding themselves virtually captive. Healthcare consumers are asked to do more, pay more and receive less value for each dollar spent. While healthcare consumerism receives much media attention, the reality is healthcare providers and payers are very content with the status quo.
Let's define a Healthcare Prisoner:
A Healthcare prisoner is a person/consumer buying health insurance, buying prescriptions or obtaining medical care.

A Virtual Healthcare Prison is any organization that provides healthcare choices or services to consumers. Virtual Prisons could be…. The government, employers, insurance companies. big pharma and healthcare providers just to name a few. They are prisons because they limit our choices.
