I am not sure whether this is a new blog or some content off a business site, but I think it is a good entry. This lays out comments from a bunch of people in and outside the industry about how to fix the situation that we are in.
It includes comments like:
- “encourage healthcare professionals to cooperate and develop a shared mission.” [Health 2.0]
- “market forces bear no consequence on rising healthcare costs” [individualized health insurance]
- “individuals rely on random health events like hospital stays and office visits for care.” [preventative care]
- “Though preventive programs incorporating diet, exercise and stress management might cost more money upfront, overall costs will drop by 30 percent and may save the patient from going for tests and getting treatment with expensive machinery.” [low-hanging fruit exists]
