Unified Partners CEO Steve Doletzky said political chaos and scandal are keeping politicians from focusing on some of the issues impacting the healthcare industry.
Mr. Doletzky, who has more than 30 years of experience in the health insurance and tax industries, strongly believes the solution to the national healthcare system requires addressing price fixing and tax fraud.
"Price fixing and a lack of transparency in pricing through participating provider organizations (PPO) networks do, in effect, permit the medical establishment to operate on a purely monopolistic basis because all competitive forces have been eliminated. This has ultimately led to the creation of the most unaffordable healthcare system in the world," Mr. Doletzky said in the press release.
Mr. Doletzky argues the medical education system, privately owned hospital systems and major pharmaceutical companies drive the high costs in healthcare, while PPO networks create unfair advantages for certain larger insurers.
Mr. Doletzky's solution includes minor tax law changes that address these issues, according to the report.
