Mass. Aims To Set First-In-Nation Health Care Spending Target
is well worth the read. It is interestingly juxtaposed with the article on how little consumers like the idea of expanding Medicaid budgets in their own states. The absolute notion that leaders have to get their hands around is how quickly the game is changing from how do I squeeze out a margin on what I am now doing to how fast can I handle a global fee and still make a margin. As the dollars continue to be constrained at the State levels, the message gets louder and louder: the federal constraints are going to come and they will stick...even in the current "leaderless" election cycles.The perfect storm of aging babyboomers, slowing retirement accounts and slowing government spending really points to more and more risk based and data driven spending. Massachusett's focus on global payments and data is by necessity going to hit all states and then the feds for those states that can't get their hands around it.
Check it out.
