In Sickness and In Health

“Health care now accounts for a larger share of the economy than food, education or national defense. We are spending more on high blood pressure than on high school education.”
 
“Health care is a $2 trillion industry and, by the end of the decade, is expected to double. Managed care was supposed to curb those costs by letting insurance companies negotiate their prices. But because it did not work, the public rejected the model and health care fell a few more notches. Now there’s a concept called Consumer-Driven Health care on the horizon which promises to tame healthcare costs.  Why could it work? Because it puts the consumer in charge.”

Hope For Health Care
 
Consumer Driven Health care is the future of the industry. Employers across the country are considering new insurance-plan design and delivery models, some of which were non-existent 2 years ago. As many as 35 per-cent of the companies said they were interested in consumer-driven healthcare plans.

It’s a cliche’, but the future is now. The movement that will overtake the healthcare industry is gaining momentum. It’s up to you to decide when you’ll hop aboard.”
