Medicare at 50? 8:30

for 4 years siden8:30

8:30

If proposed legislation allowing Americans to buy a Medicare policy at age 50, instead of 65, passes - who benefits? Is this a good idea we should be embracing immediately? Or is there a flip side to this coin that we haven't fully investigated? Ron discusses what moving the Medicare eligible age to 50 could mean for patients, employers, insurance companies, and healthcare providers.…

What If We Paid All Providers At Medicare Rates? 5:57

for 4 years siden5:57

5:57

A recent Kaiser Foundation study indicates we could save 350 billion dollars annually if we paid all physicians and hospitals at Medicare rates. It sounds good in theory, but what's the rest of the story? You can't reduce one person's expense without cutting another's revenue, so who bears the real cost of our "savings"? Ron discusses the real-world impact of the study on the medical community.…

Surprise Billing 2.0 5:40

for 4 years siden5:40

5:40

Congress is, to hopefully no one's surprise, overreacting. They're proposing legislation to limit the ability of hospital-based physicians to make a living, and decide for themselves the kinds of business relationships they enter, by passing a law forcing them to accept an arbitrary standard set by entities who stand to make a profit by doing it. It's like paving your entire yard because you have a few weeds. Actually, it's like having a government agent walk up to your door, tell you you have a weed problem, then inform you they're going to pave your yard whether you like it or not. Blanket surprise-billing legislation is not the answer to the anecdotal stories about big bills from non-contracted practices. Ron discusses some of the reality of Surprise Billing and what it could mean for physicians, and those of us who rely upon them.…

The Front Lines of the Pandemic 5:16

for 4 years siden5:16

5:16

"COVID Fatigue" has become a real force in our lives. From the monotony of isolation to the stress of loss, it affects those of us "behind the lines" in real ways. What about those on the front lines of the fight? For them, the fatigue is littoral. Doctors, nurses, EMS, hospital staff, they've been at it non-stop for nine months, and if they tire, if they're "overrun", there's just us to try to hold back the tide. Ever been to the beach? Ever tried to hold back the ocean? Ron discusses the state of front-line healthcare workers and what we might do to help.…

Hate The Game 13:14

for 5 years siden13:14

13:14

It applies to so many situations, "don't hate the player, hate the game". Insurance companies are playing the game according to the rules they have and they're making record profits. Do we hate them? Or the game they're forced to play to maximize their shareholders' investments? The system we have now incentivizes payers to make life miserable for the 5% of health care consumers who account for 50% of all health care spending. They use tools like prior-authorization, pre-certification, fail-first pharmacy and more, all to try to make expensive members go somewhere else. What if we changed the system? Ron explores what we might be able to do to change the rules of the game and move payer's focus off shedding expensive members and onto efficiently caring for them.…

The Affordable Care Act and Medicare for All 7:24

7:24

So much is "up for grabs" in the next few months. Depending on the results of the election and the confirmation hearing, we could see Democrats take the Presidency and control of the Senate, as well as Republicans get the Affordable Care Act struck down by the Supreme Court. What would it mean if both sides got their way? What would happen to physicians? Hospitals? Us? Ron discusses this possible scenario and its impact on society.…

The Trump Healthcare Plan 7:48

President Trump spoke on Thursday about his plans for the future of health care in our country. He even signed executive orders designed to advance his agenda - but what did they accomplish? Will the directives actually change healthcare as we know it, or were they primarily political "press releases" and little more? Ron discusses his take on the plans released yesterday by the Trump administration.…

We're six months into dealing with COVID as a fact of everyday life, what've we learned so far? So much has changed, and the outlook is mostly positive, but it's worth noting that the knowledge we've gained to now has been hard won at times. Ron discusses what we've learned and mistakes we've made as we've all dealt with novel Corona Virus 19.…

It's The Economy Stupid 7:41

for 5 years siden7:41

7:41

While the COVID crisis' impact on health and health care is unprecedented in many ways, its impact on the economy may be even more severe. The US GPD dropped 40% in one quarter, we've had the highest first-time unemployment claims ever in our history. We're spending money as fast as we can to try and climb out, more money than almost the rest of the world combined, but that's left us with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 136%. What will this mean for health care in the future? Medicine is the single largest industry in our economy, when the time comes to start paying for the debt we're racking up now, health care is going to be in the spotlight. Ron Howrigon discusses ramifications of the economic impact of COVID in our new podcast.…

Transparency in Health Care 7:39

for 5 years siden7:39

7:39

Everyone thinks they're they best, that they're doing a great job, that they have their ducks in a row - right up until someone starts publishing "report cards". As the payers publish their ratings of your performance, are you prepared to respond? How will you stack up? Can you combat mistakes, can you answer to shortfalls? Today's patients are connected, they read reviews, they research ratings, they'll compare medical practices just like anything else before they commit. If you're not keeping tabs on your own performance, rest assured someone else is. Listen as Ron Howrigon discusses transparency and ratings and how they can affect your practice.…

Clinical Quality in the US - Where do we really stand? 7:29

for 5 years siden7:29

7:29

You've heard it before, America has the most expensive healthcare in the world and we don't have much to show for it. The W.H.O. tells us our quality ranks 37th in the world behind countries like Columbia and Morocco. Does it? Take the politics out of it, and what's the real story? Even with unhealthy lifestyles - obesity, substance abuse, diabetes - our healthcare system is keeping Americans alive through serious events like heart attacks and strokes better than anyone else. Ron discusses the numbers you may not have heard in the soundbites about clinical quality in the US.…
