some ideas to solve the health care spending everywhere


The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit institution from US that helps improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis. One of their research area is the Health and Health Care

One of the US problems faced is the relentless growth of health care spending, a major contributor to America's long-term fiscal imbalance.

Victor Fuchs considered by many to be the father of health economics said in 2012 in an interview in the New York Times: “If we solve our health care spending, practically all of our fiscal problems go away.”

Here in RAND-Health you can find a series of research briefs dedicated to flattening the trajectory of health care spending,

RAND Health outlines four broad strategies for constraining spending growth in the market-oriented health care system:
  1. Foster efficient and accountable providers.
  2. Engage and empower consumers.
  3. Promote population health.
  4. Facilitate high-value innovation.
