Just enjoyed Uwe Reinhardt’s lecture on the current and future economics of healthcare in the U.S. and was very much struck by his emphasis on evidence-based medicine (predicts a potential 30% savings in Medicare spending) as a means to rid the current system of overspending. A must-see, is the telling graphic showing how the northwest has vastly lower costs/enrollee than the rest of the country – this, he suggests, is where the Obama administration will focus their reform efforts. Seems like basic science (which is oft blamed for raising the cost of healthcare) may yet be deployed to improve outcomes and keep costs in-line.
