What will kill health care in this country is “population health management. “
Even the name is scary. Get used to it, it’s coming soon to a place near you.
I’m in my sixties, I’ve watched this slow motion train wreck that we call health care happening since the onset of Medicare and Medicaid.
I see hospital rates increasing by 1 or 2 % per year, doctors getting no fee increases, but health insurance premiums climb at double digit rates.
The docs and the hospitals aren’t the cause of this crisis.
You are certainly right about that. I do not understand how docs remain in private practice or how hospitals remain independent. But, of course, the trend is that they don't and won't.
