Jeff Hogan at the “Upside Effect” is the most knowledgeable person I know on the Consolidated Appropriation Act. His comment on the last post merits more attention. The most important second order effect of CAA will be the required change in the way that employers/purchasers procure their healthcare services. Under the existing arrangement, employers rely upon agents and brokers to ‘procure’ health services from the existing BUCA (Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealth Group, Cigna, Aetna) offerings.
Excellent post. The CAA is a wonderful gift to the employers of this country, gladly received by every prescient CEO who understands its importance to restoring health, vitality, and significant economics - projected to be 25% to 50% or more as the dysfunction/corruption is removed - to the middle class of our country.
Thanks Jeff. It is great to hear from you and I really appreciate your leadership in moving towards a value-based healthcare system that serves everyone better.
