Professor Robert Field discusses the Obama administration's proposal to provide Americans with direct access to medical test results in "Pennsylvania Patients Will Soon Get to See Their Own Lab Results," a post on Check Up, a health-related blog published by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

"By making information more accessible, the Obama administration is promoting a market-based solution to improving health care quality. That should gain support from people of all ideological stripes," says Field.

Professor Field probes the many aspects of health reform and health policy as a guest blogger of Check Up. His recent posts include:

• What’s to Blame for High Health Care Costs?
• Will Employers Drop Coverage Under Obamacare?
• A Hidden Benefit of Health Reform – Insurance You Can Understand
