What is the Future for the US Health Care Industry?

October 15, 2009

Facts on Healthcare | www.nchc.org

What is really going on in our Health Care Industry is being blurred with emotion, politics and self interest propaganda. Any of the other major industrial countries would provide regulated quality Universal Healthcare for more than $1 trillion dollars less than we are spending now. This waste is draining about $500 billion of our tax dollars, $300 billion of corporate expense and $200 billion of consumer spending. The key question is, "is Regulating the Health Care Industry inevitable?"

We have to burst the Healthcare Bubble

February 2, 2009

Facts on Healthcare | www.nchc.org

We have the world's most expensive healthcare system costing $2.4 trillion per Year 4.3 times more than we spend on national defense, 20% of GDP. It is also one of the world's worst systems ranked 37th by the World Health Organization. Costs are escalating at 7%, at least twice the rate of inflation. Our Healthcare System is the most inefficient and wasteful among leading industrial countries. Other countries with some regulation, provide Universal Healthcare for about half of the cost of our system, which does not. We can support economic recovery through healthcare reform. About 46% of the US population is receiving government provided healthcare at a cost of $1 trillion. This includes politicians, prisoners, armed forces, federal and state employees and Medicaide and Medicare recipients. There is little central purchasing power leverage and billions of our tax dollars are being wasted along with billions of dollars of philanthropic, employer, employee and individuals monies.

The first company that establishes a true value focused culture and organization which recognises how people drive value and supports them with the technology that is now available will gain tremendous competitive advantage.
