The future of health care in the US will most likely be "consumer driven health care' or CDHC. Basically it uses market incentives and consumer responsibility to manage costs. The often provided example is how cosmetic surgery costs have increased 19% since 1998, which is near inflation, while managed care health costs have increased at 48%. This is because consumers shop for doctors with cosmetic surgery and those that provide a quality product for a fair price are most successful. The CDHC executive summary is that it works by allowing consumers to create health savings accounts (HSAs) and then choosing their own high deductible insurers and doctors. Because consumers will have to make health choices with their own money they'll make informed choices. Because insurers and doctors will be competing for each HSA dollar, they'll keep costs low. CDHC was/is architected by: Regina E. Herzlinger is the Nancy R. McPherson Professor of Business Administration Chair at the Harvard Business School. She was the first woman to be tenured and chaired at Harvard Business School and the first to serve on a number of corporate boards. She is widely recognized for her innovative research in health care, including her early predictions of the unravelling of managed care and the rise of consumer-driven health care and health care focused factories, two terms that she coined. There are numerous companies springing up around the country that provide CDHC health plans. Watch for IPOs!
