Re: Blackjack: 21 ways to start driving down healthcare costs

Some of the suggestions are great and others not so good. At first blush the mandatory drug treatment sounds good but there's a problem with that suggestion. Rehab requires the patient to want the treatment in order for it to work. It's like a weight loss program. You can only control the behavior while they are in a controlled setting.

Great food for thought.

Here is another idea....

Make sure that there are urgent care services available from 0630 to 2200 M-F. 0630-1830 on weekends.
