Oklahoma Doctors vs. Obamacare - Surgery center provides free-market medicine

The video below talks about how The Kempton Company (Administrator of Advantage Health Plans) and The Surgery Center of Oklahoma have partnered to promote free market transparency in healthcare pricing. Administrator Jay Kempton and Dr. Smith, along with other physicians and third party administrators, firmly believe that consumer and marketplace driven healthcare, or "price honesty" as Dr. Smith so aptly describes it, will change the way we access and utilize healthcare in America. Their goal is to promote this concept to other self-insured employers and like-minded medical practitioners and facilities accross the U.S.

The Surgery Center demonstrates that it’s possible to offer high quality care at low prices. "It's always been interesting to me,” says Dr. Jason Sigmon, “that in any other industry, tons of attention is devoted to making systems more efficient, but in health care that's just completely lost."

When Mr. Kempton met Dr. Keith Smith, he had been looking for a way to help his clients deal with their exploding health care costs. "Cutting edge procedures are justifiably expensive," Kempton concedes. "But what we also see are soaring increases in relatively garden-variety procedures, like a knee resurfacing or a carpal tunnel release. Those things should not be experiencing 10 or 15 percent inflation every year. So Mr. Kempton and Dr. Smith came up with a cost-saving arrangement: If their employees agreed to be treated at the Surgery Center instead of a traditional hospital, they would be spared the cost of all co-pays and deductibles. Almost immediately, Mr. Kempton was approached by other surgical centers and hospitals. There are now four health care facilities participating in his flat-fee consortium (Advantage Premier Providers™), and more are on the verge of coming onboard.
