Futuristic Healthcare Economic Models
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™
A Three Tiered Insurance System?
Uwe Reinhardt PhD, James Madison Professor of Political Economics of Princeton University in New Jersey, and an opponent of MCO liability, opined several years ago that in the near future there will be a three tiered system of medical care in the US. The bottom tier will consist of the uninsured and uninsurable (46 million, January, 2007), the middle tier will be served by managed care organizations, and the top tier will continue to demand traditional (indemnity) fee-for-service medicine.
Probable Characteristics
Regardless of future model(s) of care, we believe the goals of any optimal healthcare economic policy should include the following characteristics: (1) low demand barriers of price, travel, wait time, referral ease and paperwork, (2) adequacy of supply regarding medical personnel, clinics, drugs and equipment, (3) technical efficiencies such as service mix, (4) public expenditure control with tax reductions, and (5) quality medical care for the common social good.

What’s up with the NBGH?
Did you know that the National Business Group on Health [NBGH] – a coalition of big employers which represents scores of Fortune 500 companies including Wal-Mart, Microsoft, General Motors and GE – said it would support efforts to require individuals to have health insurance coverage for themselves and their dependent children?
However, it opposes any mandates that would require employers to either offer health coverage to workers or pay the government.
Now, can any one please explain the point of this NBGH announcement?
Thanks.
Emily
