Runaway costs
2015 – New Voices + Biotech Bearishness
Obamacare
US Healthcare Costs
GOOD: Employers Drop Coverage

corporations, large + small, done as providers
ACA penalties cheaper than
plans
Business can drop plans and
hike pay to attract workers
“Cadillac” tax removes tax deductibility
No healthcare costs = higher
margins
BAD: Price Controls Hurt Sector
Let Medicare negotiate = drug
price crash
new regime puts the squeeze on healthcare sector

New specialty drugs priced in
six figures
Biotech (eg Valeant) biz model IS price
hikes
UGLY: Runaway Costs Hurt GDP
Healthcare sector
outperforms

All other sectors negatively impacted
prices spiral despite government efforts
Healthcare spend crowds out consumer

US employers could become more competitive globally if they drop health care coverage or increase deductibles significantly.
Healthcare sector has enjoyed price increases above inflation for decades – price controls or bulk government discounts could challenge this trend
High healthcare inflation might act as a “tax” on GDP, lowering consumer and business spending and driving markets lower.

Healthcare Hijinks – Take Aways
Healthcare cost deflationpre-dates Obamacare
Biotech + big pharma face headwinds previously avoided
Link between employer + healthcare is ending
Healthcare inflation outpacing CPI is due to third party payers
