ACUTE CARE IN THE UNITED STATES
ROLE OF LTAC’s
• CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS OF HEALTHCARE TODAY
– UNTIL 2013 HEALTHCARE COSTS HAVE INCREASED
EITHER ALARMINGLY OR AT LEAST SIGNIFICANTLY
– FORTY-SEVEN MILLION AMERICANS EITHER UNDERINSURED OR UNINSURED
– THE DEMOGRAPHICS WILL NOT IMPROVE THE
SITUATION—ONLY WORSEN IT
– THE PRIVATE SECTOR HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO
ADDRESS THE PROBLEM
– THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IS THE GOVERNMENT’S
RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM

Notes on Japan -- LTC
• Japan public spending on long-term care is
projected to more than double from 1.4% in
2007, and could even reach 4.4% of GDP in
2050. Japan’s real public LTC spending is
expected to grow at a faster rate between
2006 and 2025.

FIND A NEED AND FIX IT
• GOVERNMENT POSITION—REGULATE AND
PRICE FIX. RESULT WILL BE ADJUSTMENTS
MADE BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO ADDRESS
THE PROBLEM.
• PRIVATE SECTOR CHANGED ACORDING TO
WHO HAD THE POWER.
• PHYSICIAN POWER, INSUROR POWER
10
THE RESULT
• NO INCREASE IN PATIENT ACCESS
• INCREASED COST OF CARE
– DUE TO THIRD PARTY PAYORS
– TECHNOLOGY
– SERVING THE UNDER-SERVED
• NOTHING FIXED SO THEREFORE:
• OBAMA CARE (THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT)
11
TWO CHALLENGES
• ACCESS TO CARE FOR EVERYONE
– IMPROVE COVERAGE
• DRIVE COST OUT
– SOME METHODS:
•
•
•
•
REGULATE INSURORS
CONTROL/DECREASE REIMBURSEMENT
BEGIN TO BUNDLE PRICING
DON’T PAY FOR MISTAKES
