Here’s How It’s Still Possible to Afford Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs in the U.S.

It’s impossible to ignore the massive increases in heathcare costs in the United States. In an era where the average healthcare cost for a family of four has skyrocketed to a staggering $31,000 per year, it’s no wonder that discussions around healthcare affordability are becoming increasingly critical. With healthcare inflation now surpassing 5%, it’s evident that many are struggling to access the medical support they need, leading to urgent debates on system reform and personal responsibility. The question remains: how can we navigate this challenging environment and ensure better health outcomes for all?

In the latest episode of the podcast series Highway to Health by MarketScale, host David Kemp delves into the escalating issue of healthcare costs. Kemp unpacks the problem, contemplates potential solutions, and emphasizes the need for proactive individual health management.

The episode focuses on:

  • The alarming rise in average healthcare costs and its impact on average American families.
  • The necessary steps needed from all stakeholders including, payers, healthcare providers, and legislators to address these issues.
  • The role of personal responsibility in maintaining one’s health, including developing healthy habits, eating right, and paying attention to one’s body.

David Kemp is the Healthcare Lead atMarketScale’s healthcare department. Kemp’s work is marked by his dedication to improving access, experience, and outcomes for patients.

July partnerships show hospitals aligning without ownership change

July partnerships show hospitals aligning without ownership change

A July McDermott Will & Schulte analysis and four July partnership announcements tracked by Becker’s Hospital Review point to affiliation models that stop short of mergers. St. Christopher’s signed a nonbinding letter of intent with Nemours, Jefferson and Temple; Palomar UC San Diego Health began operating July 1 under a joint powers authority. Several announcements explicitly rule out ownership change, shifting the work to contracts covering governance and other terms.

  • 01In an alliance, the contract does the integrating that an org chart does in a merger: McDermott Will & Schulte says governance design, exclusivity, antitrust review, community commitments and exit rights all have to be settled before signing.
  • 02Purchasing is now explicitly on the table in at least one no-ownership deal, the St. Peter's Health and Billings Clinic-Logan Health talks in Montana, which means shared supply contracts can arrive without a change of control.

Eye telemedicine hits limits without home retinal imaging

Eye telemedicine hits limits without home retinal imaging

An Ophthalmology Times commentary by T.Y. Alvin Liu, Ferdinand Hui and Phillip Phan sorts eye patients into three telemedicine tiers by clinical need. Patients needing regular OCT scans benefit less unless a home device can send the image. Video tools already sit inside Epic and Cerner; the deciding purchase for retina clinics is the imaging device in the patient's living room.

  • 01The dividing line for eye telemedicine is imaging, not video: patients who need regular OCT scans benefit less from remote visits unless a device at home can send the scan, so a video license alone shifts few of those encounters.
  • 02The provider-side requirement, a HIPAA-compliant secured video platform, was already built into Epic and Cerner by 2020; the patient-side requirements (1.5 MB up and down bandwidth, a quiet private room, comfort with the technology) sit outside the health system's control and are the ones worth screening for at scheduling.
  • 03Self-administered home color fundus photography for tracking non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy was named as the nearer route into retina telemedicine; home OCT for wet AMD is the harder gate and the device to watch.

Value-based care reaches a quarter of revenue at 30% of surveyed health organizations

Value-based care reaches a quarter of revenue at 30% of surveyed health organizations

Wolters Kluwer Health argues value-based care software is judged on whether customers hit incentive thresholds and avoid penalties. A Fierce Healthcare-reported survey it cites puts value-based care at a quarter or more of revenue for 30% of organizations. The analysis is a vendor publication that ends by pitching its own UpToDate Connect API.

  • 01The sharper question for any population health or care coordination platform is whether it changes what a clinician does at the moment of decision, or only reports afterward what happened. Wolters Kluwer's reading of the evidence is that many platforms still struggle with the first.
  • 02Vendors selling into value-based contracts now face a build-or-license decision on clinical content, because Wolters Kluwer names current, trusted content, consistent clinician adoption across sites, and a traceable link from guidance to quality metrics as the three hard problems.
