The New Consumer
“The patient is the most underutilized resource in
healthcare”
Fear vs. Faith in Healthcare
Clearly, “faith in” healthcare is being replaced by “fear of” healthcare. Healthcare today consistently ranks at the top of lists of what consumers fear most. It is understandable that patients and providers are confused…and politicians don’t help.

HC Reform???* Politicization of HC is troubling
Average person has limited ability to discuss -- like asking to vote on “fusion vs. fission”…
Insurance is simple… create two classes of customers – good risks and bad risks – (avoid the later as much as possible)
Problem with healthcare is that it is “hard” – complex, path dependent, interlocking, huge, with substantial ethical and moral considerations
Reform: Least interesting of major trends transforming HC…unending clash of special interests
The consumer is desperate for clarity
“Purpose”vs.
“Policy”
Healthcare Reform?
Goal: sick care to health care…

Fear vs. Faith in HealthcareAs consumers enter their high utilization years and entitlements erode, “faith in” healthcare is being replaced by “fear of” healthcare. Healthcare today consistently ranks at the top of lists of what consumers fear most. There is no quick fix here, but it is critical to understand the mindset of today’s “new” mature consumer.

Pandemic of Chronic Disease
We are heading toward a future in which chronic disease will be pervasive. As our population of 65+ grows from 41 million today to 72 million by 2030, our emphasis on community-based services will need to grow dramatically. These patients will be both “sick and well”.

Falls account for:-- 25% of hospital admissions -- 40% of nursing home admissions -- nearly half of those admitted do not return to independent living -- 25% die within a year.

The Future of Health & Longevity:Shangri-La or “Geriassic Park”
Research/Guidance and the NMC
As genomic and biotech breakthroughs radically alter late-life disease and even human aging as we now know it, battles will erupt over who will decide how these technologies will be controlled and who will have access to them.

What will it be like….
to know from the moment of your child’s birth their likelihood of developing some form of chronic condition, cancer, or disease. Knowledge that would shape, and perhaps determine their future.
The End of Insurance?• Public/Private Payers Struggle with Complexity
• Significant Decline in Testing Cost(Duchenne muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, hereditary, CA & heart, etc., $350-900 test)
• TX costs…Serepta/Anthem ($300k)• CAR-T therapies (90% remission/$300-500k)• Novartis/Gilead…Solvaldi …$84k vs 28k
• What happens when longevity becomes purchasable???
