    The Future of Healthcare

    January 23rd, 2008

    by Tony Chen

    Go check out this great post on the World Health Care Blog for a good wrap-up of what Deloitte, Brailer, PWC, Forrester, et al are saying about healthcare in 2008.

    To summarize, here are 8 things that will increase in '08: IT investments, MDs using the internet, telemedicine, healthcare costs, employers not providing healthcare, individual health insurance, retail clinics, and hospital/physician tension. Are we having fun yet?

    While these eight events may happen in 2008, suppose there is a significant financial downturn in our economy? And suppose that cost cutting in this recession means cutting employer sponsored insurance, vastly increasing the numbers of uninsured? What will happen to the bulk of hospitals that depend on privately insured patients?
    A major economic downturn will cause our bloated healthcare system to implode on itself. We will see hospitals that have invested in expensive procedure and testing units shut their doors, doctors leaving the field in even larger numbers, and massive consolidation.
    It is coming. Maybe not in 2008, but soon.

    The health care paths that these two very different men from opposite ends of the socioeconomic spectrum pursued in their destination to death are notable and ironic.
