The Health Care Implosion

The Health Care Implosion 05/25/2004 01:22 PM

Mercury News: Health costs hurting more small businesses. The cost of health insurance -- ranked the top concern of small businesses since 1986 -- still holds that dubious distinction, a new nationwide survey shows. But the percentage of firms affected by those costs has grown substantially.

The health care system, or at least the insurance system through which our health-care dollars flow, is in a slow-motion collapse. This story is just one more data point. Sooner or later, we'll have to make a choice. Should the U.S. go to national health care, as every single other industrialized nation provides for its citizens? Or should we go to a totally free-market system -- not the bogus pretense of one we have now -- that leaves millions without care of any kind? Or something else? The insurance industry is systematically excluding people who will someday need care -- shifting costs wherever possible to taxpayers. This may be rational capitalism, but it's lousy public policy. I'm working on some columns on this topic. Let me know what you think.

Another chapter in the health care meltdown: Sometime in the next few weeks, barring a surprising turn of events, the state of California will formally approve the merger of two health insurance giants. An Indiana company called Anthem will acquire WellPoint Health Networks, the Southern California outfit that owns Blue Cross of California, for about $16.4 billion. The deal has drawn harsh criticism for many reasons. Not least is the display of raw greed by the insider executives who stand to collect somewhere between $200 million and $600 million in payouts after the buyout is concluded. More...

Saddam Hussein, an example for health
care reform 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

Over breakfast at a favorite little French cafe in Harvard Square today a friend who is getting a master's in Public Health at Harvard mentioned that under Saddam Hussein Iraq's entire health care system had a budget of $18 million and that under U.S. occupation this has subsequently grown to $1.8 billion.  How well did Saddam do with his $18 mil?  http: //www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/iz.html shows Iraqi life expectancy at birth to be 68 years versus the U.S.'s 77 years. Those extra 9 years are nice, of course, but they come at a cost of about $1.9 trillion per year or 100,000 times Saddam's budget.
