The New Health Age: The Future of Health Care in America Jonathan Fleece Co-Author Advisor Health Care Attorney
Health Insurance & Benefits Going Forward IT IS MUCH MORE THAN THE QUOTE
The Current Landscape of Health Care in America “America’s state of health, the economic models driving health care choices and costs, and America’s health care delivery systems do not adequately foster the right incentives for American Stakeholders to (1) increase the quality of their health, (2) improve health care service to everyone, or (3) control health care costs. This reality is contributing to the rapid decline of America’s pride, financial strength, and competitive advantage in a global marketplace. It is, therefore, essential for America to acknowledge, embrace, and foster The New Health Age.”
Who Are America’s Health Care Stakeholders? • American companies of all sizes • Individuals of every age - young, old and in between • Public and private sectors • Workers and employers • Unemployed and employed • Patients and health care providers, including physicians, nurses, hospitals, and long term care providers • Payers and their beneficiaries • Teachers and students • Governments and citizens
