    Observations on the Argument Over Health Care Policy

    1. Who Makes HC Policy?      a. State differences – access, price and coverage      b. Individuals affected –            i. 17M buy insurance           ii. 29M don’t have insurance           iii. MCare & Medicaid not affected – State expansion of Medicaid, but higher rates of inflation in Red States 2. Hospital Closures & Medicaid Expansion      a. ACA improving health care?           i. Hospitals closed in States rejecting Medicaid                1. States expanding Medicaid – lower and falling hospital closures                2. ACA – improved hospital financial performance w/lower probability of closure for rural markets and counties w/large amt of uninsured                3. Supreme Court left Medicaid expansion to the States                4. Hospital closure leads to loss of well-paying and skilled jobs 3. Wall Street – Another Option for Paying For Health Care Benefits      a. Sell wealth management to individuals           i. Lower cost method to gain new customers           ii. Morgan Stanley, Goldman, Fidelity, Charles Schwab, E*Trade, Amazon/JPMorgan/Berkshire Hathaway           iii. Wall St has the analytics to redeploy investment dollars to benefits           iv.

Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care – cost of living, site of care, volume of services delivered, hospital/MD salaries      b. Example –            i. SF Chronicle reports cost in No. CA 30% > So. Ca d/t UC Berkeley Petris Center on Health Care Markets and Consumer Welfare           ii. Primary reasons -- D/t consolidation in hospitals, insurance and MD practices b/w 2010-2016 (adj for higher cost of living and wages)           iii. Result – mergers/acquisitions in health care = HP+PBMs, MD practices, Plans, Pharmacies lead to higher costs           iv.
