The key to building individual health equity is empowering patients to take control of their own healthcare. By setting aside some of their premium in a health savings account, individuals can be prepared for unexpected medical expenses, such as those caused by inherited health conditions.
At the same time, we must shift the focus from third parties managing care to patients taking an active role in their own healthcare. This means giving patients the tools and information they need to make informed decisions about their treatment options.
So let's work towards a healthcare system that puts patients in the driver's seat.
