I've known Paul Ketchel for over two decades when he first began to work with me as a technology wizard in my US Senate office in Washington. Paul has always had a tireless passion for creating solutions to problems. And it came as no surprise to me when he came up with the unique, the value-based bundled approach of MDsave, the world's first transactional healthcare marketplace. MDsave is all about transparency and consumer empowerment. It empowers patients to compare prices for healthcare services up front, potentially saving them hundreds, even thousands of dollars on costly procedures that we previously had no price transparency on.
