When medical professionals run their own practices rather than being part of large corporations, they have the ability to treat their patients the way they think best rather than following strict protocols, and it also lowers their overhead costs. When patients use cost-sharing plans instead of health insurance, it allows them to choose their own doctors and hospitals as they cooperate with others to pay for healthcare costs. Both of these actions lower costs and give more choices to patients and healthcare providers. Using them helps to break up the monopolies created by large corporations and single-payer insurance. Not only are patients better served, communities experience financial benefits and doctors feel more satisfied.
