Health
Care in the 21st Century

Consumer-driven
health care has the potential to be a
powerful force of change in
the health care system. By
instituting competitive pressures,
encouraging greater price
transparency, and rewarding consumers who
are pro active
about their health, the growing adoption of Health
Savings
Accounts will help make health care more affordable
for
everyone.
In an article entitled "Health Care in the
21st Century",
published in the New England Journal of Medicine on
January
20, 2005, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, M.D.,
made
several suggestions on ways to provide all Americans
with
lifelong, affordable access to high-quality health
care.
Senator Frist graduated from Harvard Medical School in
1978,
and was a surgeon before entering politics. One of the
key
aspects of his vision is a system that is
responsive
primarily to individual consumers, rather than to
third-
party payers. This concept is known as
consumer-driven
health care.

=====================
Today most health care is paid for and controlled by
third
parties such as the government, insurers, and
employers.
Consumers rarely compare prices or quality of service
when
shopping for health care - partly because this comparison
is
usually very difficult or even impossible, and partly
because
the price often just doesn't matter to the consumer,
who is only
responsible for a moderate co-payment. Frist
notes "a
consumer-driven system will empower all people - if
they so choose
- to make decisions that will directly
affect the most fundamental
and intimate aspects of their
life - their own health. This
empowerment gives people a
greater stake in and more responsibility
for, their own
health care. Health care will not improve in a
sustained
and substantial way until consumers drive it."
A
key aspect to enabling consumer-driven health care was the
creation
of tax-free Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). This
legislation
was part of the Medicare Modernization Act
(Public Law
108-173). "HSAs, coupled with affordable high
deductible
insurance policies, give individual consumers
more control over
their health care choices and hard earned
dollars. HSAs give
people a greater stake in their own
health care. The accounts
can move with employees from job
to job and can be rolled over year
to year. HSAs should
increase demand for greater information
and transparency."
What Senator Frist is suggesting is that
people with high
deductible health insurance plans and HSAs have
incentive to
keep their health costs low, since any money they save
on
health care expenses stays in their Health Savings
Account,
and grows tax-deferred, like an IRA. Thus there is
also
incentive for the consumer to demand information
about
health care pricing. No system has yet been devised in
the
history of mankind that does more to increase quality
and
lower prices than a competitive market system. As more
and
more consumers begin to own health savings accounts,
health
care providers will be forced to compete for their
business
by providing better quality service and better
prices.
The other factor in play is the financial motivation
the
individual will have to stay healthy. The vast majority
of
health care spending today is due to degenerative
diseases
such as high blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic
syndrome,
cardiovascular disease, and other modern ailments that
are
primarily the result of lifestyle choices. The consumer
who
wisely spends his HSA dollars on preventative care
(which
can be done tax-free) and pays attention to diet
and
exercise could be rewarded with a substantial amount
of
money in their Health Savings Account by age
65.
