If consumers were more empowered, they would take more responsibility for their health.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's up to all of us, the consumers, to take charge of our health. It's almost like voting. It's your responsibility.
It is not government's job to mandate responsibility on our behalf. We have the intelligence and good sense to make wise consumption choices for ourselves and our children. It is up to us to do what is best for our health and our children's health.
I want to give consumers way more choices in health care. Choice and competition always drive down costs better than central control.
If consumers make better choices, the marketplace will change.
It just seems that you were talking positively about McDonald's, that they are... attempting this healthy lifestyle, and yet when we're talking right now... it seems that you're saying they need to make more responsibility.
The consumer is really underutilized in health care.
Those who believe that health is a commodity, on par with cars or computers, fail to grasp the basic economic lesson that health is very vulnerable to exposure to the markets, not least due to the profound asymmetries in power between the providers and consumers.
I believe we can incentivize more affordable health care in general by better regulating insurance and creating meaningful competition for health care services.
Consumer technology and medical tools have been created to benefit our daily lives. Without self-regulation, though, the industry could be at risk of potentially halting years of innovation and stunting growth in this field.
Consumer society tantalises us. We then try within ourselves to control the needs that are being constantly stimulated.
