“There are deep structural forces, both in Medicare and the private insurance market, that have driven the explosion in health costs.”
OK, so what are these “deep structural forces?” After consulting with experts, he (and the Obama administration) have no answer. But no matter.
The solution is:
- improving health information technology,
- expanding wellness programs,
- expanding preventive medicine,
- penalizing hospitals for poor outcomes
- instituting comparative effectiveness measures
Those of us who are engineers generally try to understand the “deep structural forces” before designing a solution.
