Talk:Consumer-driven healthcare

message: This article might as well be completely blanked out, considering its lack of citations, and the lack of anything resembling factual information. Information cited in the HSA article directly contradicts some of the uncited statements in here. SiberioS 17:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Seems like a good idea to me. There's nothing in "plan" that isn't repeated here, and there's a Wikipedia rule somewhere against having articles with similar headings. Nbauman 00:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I added the  template to the article because I believe the article's tone or style sounds more like a debate than an encyclopedia. The article generally follows a back-and-forth pattern that focuses on cataloging arguments for and against consumer-driven health care, instead of focusing on telling about consumer-driven health care itself.
Here are a couple of examples that show why it sounds so debate-like. As of the current revision, I count 2 uses of the word critics and 4 uses of the word proponents, all but one of which are the subject of "have pointed to", "argue", or "counter". Also, paragraphs beginning with what could have been weasel words (if they'd lacked a supporting quotation) are often rebuttals to the previous paragraph. (Such as the sentence, "Some policy analysts say that consumer satisfaction doesn't reflect quality of health care." in the Consumer Satisfaction section.)
I arrived at the article from a redirect of Consumer Driven Health Plan, attempting to learn what a CDHP was. I discovered an article instead filled with commentary about whether or not consumer-driven health care works. The few mentions of CDHPs were either in arguments or a historical description about why they were developed. My best efforts produced an inference that the term CDHP is probably a synonym for high-deductible health plan. I realize that's probably an issue with where the redirect should land, but my experience demonstrates the difficulty posed by the article's current focus.

message: Lede: 
:Consumer-driven health care :(CDHC), defined narrowly, refers to third tier health insurance plans that allow members to use health savings accounts (HSAs), Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs), or similar medical payment products to pay routine health care expenses directly, while a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) protects them from catastrophic medical expenses.
