Thanks for focusing on this topic! Writting article about that and sent a copy.....Show how the privatization, deregulation and marketisation of US Heathcare System did make it easier for it to be one of the most expensive, exclusive and inefficient of the world. Fortunately, you're suggesting business model and technology that can help. 1. Patient-centered Care Model can help. 2. Shared Value Business Model and Technology can help. Among others! I'll be back soon as well with another article regarded to COVID and US Healthcare System.
Disagree on many points: Firstly, it's not the insurance companies job to keep you healthy, just as it's not geico's job to make sure you're a good driver, just to charge you according to your driving skill and past record. The incentive to be healthy is for your own self interest in your health as well as incentive for low insurance. If you had preexisting conditions, you were dealt a bad hand. Private subsidies can solve that (charity.) It's the insurance companies job to do the following: Insure you when you are sick and need medical attention. ANYTHING else, is up to personal responsibility. Having an insurance company bargain with the hospital is beneficial, they are saving you money. I agree the payment system is poorly operated, likely due to government regulations. If you want to save people money, deregulate the medical industry!! Look at India as an example- you can get a bypass surgery for 1% of the cost of US, WITHOUT insurance. Compare health care systems, the fewer regulations and the less government intervention in the market- the better and cheaper the care.
In America....95% of all diseases.....other than true DNA genetics derived diseases.....could be gotten rid of by eating "real foods". Period. We're fundamentally disconnected from what we should be eating. We don't need tainted foods with pesticides from Monsanto and others....killing us insidiously....and the food absolutely is....this is fact....not speculation. Eat well....live well, without the interventional nonsense of a modern medical system. If we don't increase our natural foods....like "that eaten , 100 years ago"....we're doomed. "It's just that simple". Food,....is the most fundamental issue of health...not an imaging technique, education, having telemedicine,....visiting nurses, etc. Not robotic surgeries,....not an intelligent, interactive IT database....not anything but food. Quality foods....quality lives. Now....why can't we spend the CMS monies on the "issues that really matter?"....like organic foods,....and the real issues that start and grow illnesses - improper foods. Our food industry is killing us today......and we need help getting free from this "MATRIX" of sorts scenario. Having disparate DSRIP (delivery system reform Incentive payment) programs in the states, will create scales of efficiency....but this will simply enable our system to be more efficiently handle the numbers of increasing sick people, as a function of governmental mandates and the lobbyists that mandate more GMO's, more sugary food allowances, more low quality foods, etc. Foods are the "missing link"....one can't "put Cocoa Puffs (McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Five-Guys, In-and-out) in one's automobile" and more than they can put Cocoa Puffs, et al in one's body for long without destruction or chronic diseases. Period. So....make 'proper foods available to the Medicaid/Medicare population....and see how fast they "snap back" as a N=large number study....Medicine would change overnight.
You have got it all wrong! India has a system like the one in US which means it is mostly insurance based (US have the highest costs in the world per capita for health care). India is not a good example since they do not have an universal health care system. People must pay considerable amount of money for advancd medical care! In the civilized countries a taxbased health care system is a standard soloution. So forget about the insurance companies they have hardly anything to do with healt care in our countries (the nordic countries). Sweden has a universal public health system paid largely from taxation in the same way as other Scandinavian countries. Sweden's entire population has equal access to health care services. The Swedish public health system is funded through taxes levied by the county councils, but partly run by private hospitals. Government-paid dental care for those under 21 years old is included in the system. Dental care above a fixed amount is also subsidised. If the governement in USA created a health care system based upon taxes you would scream "this is communism".
Totally SUPER COOL ! Thanked a Dr. Today. 💌
Totally agree with You when you suggest the shift away from the Process management approach to the Outcome management approach.
an abscess tooth could cost me around 3500 bucks and that's with gold tier health insurance as a public sector employee in the USA

He says nothing about greed which is the most infectious aspects of health care...just like a disease.
