Healthcare Revolution: Exclude From Paywall and Transform America's Health System
Healthcare Revolution: Exclude From Paywall and Transform America's Health System
Exclude from paywall discussions emphasize the urgent need for a healthcare revolution in America. Despite decades of reform attempts, the United States spends twice as much per capita on health care as any other wealthy nation. We spend 40 cents of every health care dollar on administration, billing, insurance paperwork, and other non-medical overhead. That's over a trillion dollars yearly going to middlemen instead of medicine—a huge cost burden on employers and consumers alike.
Understanding the Inefficiencies
As the founder and CEO of a health care technology company, I've spent years working directly with employers, providers, and patients to reimagine how health care is delivered and paid for in America. What I've learned is sobering: Our current system isn't just inefficient—it actively resists meaningful change, protecting layers of complexity that benefit intermediaries at the expense of patients, providers, and employers who pay the lion’s share of health insurance premiums.
Crisis of Incremental Change
In fact, the average employer cost for health care is $2.83 per employee per hour, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and it’s only getting worse. The *false promise of incremental change* has led us to a crisis, diverting our attention from the urgent restructuring needed for sustainable health care.
