Bending the Curve in healthcare.




Some of the most influential medical groups are recommending that doctors weigh the costs, not just the effectiveness of treatments. This results in doctors choosing one drug over another for cost reasons or even deciding that a particular treatment.

Businesses started  health program, Gems, Smoke cessation, weight loss programs, all which have been ignored before.

Medicare will not reimburse hospitals for certain readmission. That prompt the hospitals to cooperate with private doctors to take care of the patient on an out-patient role.

Healthcare Insurances promote measures to keep people healthy. Smoking, junk food and the like will  cost higher premium.

The FDA embarked on the "New Paradigm" which will increase access to pharmacists and medication without stopping by the physicians. A major reduction in cost.

The  healthcare cost will decline as the programs takes hold.

Just a [healthy] thought.
