What is the Product

  • The “Product” used to be “medical services”
  • It has become “Healthcare”
  • Medical Care is a by-product of Healthcare
slide-3
SLIDE 3

How Do We Buy the Product Now

  • We select a “healthcare” product
  • “Healthcare” dictates how much “medical care” we are

entitled to

  • Medical providers are instructed to bill artificially high

rates, the healthcare provider takes an artificial discount to come up with an artificial allowable, then the provider is paid a portion of the allowable

How the same Principles can apply to Medical Care

  • Insurance used to be a risk protection and financing

vehicle, yet as complex as healthcare has become, the product needs to be redefined. I believe that we need to turn back the clock to when we purchased “medical care services”, and re-design financing and risk management vehicles to wrap that. This will require not only transparency in price and quality, but also competition among providers. Millennials will not accept the health plan making choices for them, they will want to do the research for themselves, and our industry needs to respond to this paradigm shift.

Florida

  • The state of Florida was looking for alternatives to

unsustainable trends

partisan support

  • The bill embraces a new paradigm in “healthcare”
