Root Causes of Escalating Healthcare Costs
Too many consumers (47 million) are not part of the system
Heavily insured workers often treat healthcare as a “free good”
Cost and quality transparency is largely absent Insurance policies generally lack incentives to reward
good or penalize bad behavior…yet 70% of healthcare costs are behavior driven
Providers of healthcare have little incentive to be cost conscious…paid for services delivered, not results

6HC Cleveland Clinic 05-27-08
This is a Very Solvable Problem
70% of healthcare costs are driven by behavior
74% of all costs are confined to four chronic conditions
Every private sector company can experience per capita cost declines without cost-shifting or government help
By setting the example…the private sector can effectively drive the policy solution for the nation
