观点原文

Alex,美国纳税人其实很少直接给医生付钱。

通常情况是:

  • 把钱拨给各州(用于 Medicaid)
  • 把钱拨给医院和医疗服务提供方(传统 Medicare)
  • 把钱拨给保险公司(Medicare Advantage 和 ACA)
  • 或通过税收优惠间接补贴个人与雇主

你说得对:我们确实付得太多了。美国的医疗支出远超合理范围。

我们之所以严重过度支出,是因为我们把最多的钱给了保险公司,并让他们拥有一切理由去:

  • 不断做大规模
  • 按虚高价格签合同
  • 发明各种费用
  • 在可能的情况下延迟或拒绝提供医疗服务
  • 然后还有 PBM(药品福利管理机构)等其他层层抽取……

解决方案?拆解如下:

  • 按垂直领域拆分大型保险公司
  • 在此之前,要求它们内部结算按 Medicare 价格(或最低价格)进行
  • 把药品目录(formularies)从 PBM 手里拿走
  • 自费买药的支出要计入免赔额
  • 要求非营利医院和服务机构公开每一条总账记录
  • 停止滥用 340B 政策

我可以连续几天讲如何降低美国医疗成本,真的问题太多。

至于“过度治疗”,原因也很多:

  • 文书工作过多
  • 法律诉讼过多
  • 有太多经济激励驱动机构创造更多收入

但在我刚才提到的整个体系里,真正经济收益最少的,却恰恰是实际的护理人员:医生和护士。

他们经常被系统“压榨”。

他们应该能够开自己的诊所,并在经济上活得下去。

他们不应该任由保险公司摆布。

他们应该得到与医院为同样服务所获得的 相同 Medicare 价格。

重点来了:你其实能帮上忙。

Alex,你的保险是哪家?你的 PBM 是谁?

你已经让多少公司认识到:

他们完全可以脱离那些大型保险公司及其 PBM?

You are right that we overpay. We spend far too much on healthcare.

We overspend because we send the most money to the carriers and give them every good reason, to scale as big as possible , to contract at inflated prices, to invent fees and to delay and deny care when they can. Then there are the PBMs etc etc

Break up the big carriers by vertical , make intercompany transfers at Medicare rates or best price until then , remove formularies from their PBMs, make extra cash purchase count against the deductible , make non profit hospitals and providers publish every general ledger entry , stop 340b abuse, I can go on for days on how we can reduce the cost of healthcare.

As far as over treating , there are lots of reasons. Lots of paperwork, lots of lawsuits, lots of economic incentives to generate more revenues.

But of all I just mentioned, the people that benefit the least financially, are the actual caregivers. Doctors and nurses get shit on regularly. They should be able to open their own practice and survive financially. They shouldn’t be at the mercy of insurance companies.

The best part of this is that you can help. Where do you get your insurance and who is your PBM Alex ?

How many companies have you educated to walk away from the biggest insurance carriers and their PBMs ?
