The Problem
Employers’, who provide health care coverage for over 60% of adults under 65 and children, most serious benefits problems continue to be rising health care costs and uneven quality
• Costs up 50% in the past five years; 14% in 2003; 10%-14% in 2004; 8%-10% in 2005.
• In the US, growing problem of affordability – affects job growth and leads to more uninsured
• Other social needs neglected
• No end in sight

Unsustainable Business Model
• Corporate America cannot make or sell enough in this economy to keep absorbing these increases.
• Percentage of people employed is below where it was more than 3-4 years ago – “jobless recovery”.
• Must find new ways and new resolve to tackle these problems head-on with leverage from combined purchasing power of large employers.
![Page 8: 1 Kaplan University Unit 7 Town Hall Federalism and the Health Care System (slides from various sources)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eb75503460f94bc144a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

• There must be incentives to help drive system toward efficiency/medically appropriate utilization/ high-performing hospitals.
• Purchasers and consumers must reward/select quality, efficiency and innovation.– consumers and providers need useful
information– transparency is essential– urgency is needed
Cost Sharing Is Only Part of Strategy
![Page 9: 1 Kaplan University Unit 7 Town Hall Federalism and the Health Care System (slides from various sources)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649eb75503460f94bc144a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Technology Assessment Needed
• Solutions have to take into account U.S. appetite for new technology.
• Solutions have to include source for objective, authoritative technology assessment; fast tracked to avoid inappropriate delays.
• Physicians need to take a very hard look at new technology and help patients understand fully the benefits and harms or risks of new and old technology.
• Consumers need to understand benefits and risks or harms of all technology.

Chronic Disease and Complex Case Management Can Work
• Solutions must recognize important aspects of health status under individual’s control – national obesity epidemic: a tragic example.
• Attack 70% of costs for 10% of covered lives in any given year.
• Physicians can have a significant effect on patient behavior (e.g. smoking cessation) but often do not address important risk factors.

Quality/ Patient Safety Important
• Hospitals with better safety/quality records, forthcoming with data on procedures volumes, are better for employees and will save overall costs (e.g., infection rates affect length of stay and morbidity, mortality, are costly).
• Quality performance data will be increasingly tied to financial incentives (Pay for Performance).
• Employees need to learn: more costly services/providers are not necessarily better.

Best Performers Checklist
• Begin laying the groundwork to manage health through lifestyle behavior change programs
• Be “activist” in their consumer activation approach, giving employees the tools to be better consumers
• Offer an HDHP and don’t let the implementation complexities be a barrier
• Consider integrating health and disability benefits
• Be aware of provider or “supply side” performance

Conclusions
• Providers, purchasers, payers, consumers, and governments have to work together to create a system that is efficient, safe, effective, based on scientific evidence, timely and patient-centered.
• Many global corporations have used breakthrough thinking, innovation and exceptional execution to be successful. That same strategy and drive will enable employers to provide quality care and benefits to employees and their families and moderate medical spending.
• Through public-private collaborations, we can make a positive difference.

Patents and Prescription Drugs
• Generally, a prescription drug’s patent lasts for about 20 years, but it is 20 years from when the substance is first made, not from when it is first marketed.
• After the testing for FDA approval is done, a company usually has about 4 years left on the patent before the patent expires and the drug then becomes a generic.

• Should patent law be changed?
• Why do we have it (it is in Article One of the U.S. Constitution)?
