Selling Patients like Baseball Players – Seriously
By Staff Reporters
Here is a health care reform strategy that we have not heard of before. It was formulated by healthcare futurist Joe Flowers, and is reposted below for your review.
It first posits this question, and then gives a plausible answer, with unique new operational strategy.
Question
Why aren’t health plans more aggressive in promoting the long-term health of their members, like getting them to eat better, stop smoking, get a little exercise, and all that?
Answer
Because of health insurance industry “churn”
Strategy
Give Joe’s idea a read and tell us what you think?

Health Care Reform
The Obama Administration will not achieve health reform, as envisioned, because citizens are not ready to accept the following:
• Public Option
• Abortion funding
• Illegal [undocumented] alien care

Excellent Post by Joe Flowers
But, far too theoretical to be practical.
