		<description><![CDATA[How They Can Survive and Thrive
For America’s community hospitals, using the traditional cost-shifting revenue model is the maddening equivalent of simultaneously playing rugby, Australian-rules football, major-league baseball, and cricket—dictated by the rules of multiple third-party payers rather than by rational pricing models.  Success is ultimately dependent on having enough privately insured patients to subsidize the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Employers to the Rescue?
In Part 1, I explained how the only way hospitals have been able to survive their money-losing Medicare and Medicaid patients has been to charge higher rates to private payers. That’s why private insurance now costs $1,788 more per family than it would if the government paid the same provider prices as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MEDICAID, MEDICARE,  AND THE INSURANCE EXCHANGES
The new health reform law’s central message to America’s hospitals is a classic good news/bad news story. First, the good news. Hospital exposure to 46 million uninsured Americans showing up in their ERs is about to drop by two-thirds over the next several years.  Medicaid alone is predicted to take [...]]]></description>

We also know that the total costs of medical provider billing, collection, and payment consume as much as 30% of every health care dollar—about ten times the transaction costs in every other industry.

		<description><![CDATA[One of President Obama’s most frequent health reform mantras is, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.&#8221;  This is consistent with his belief that we “must build on the current employer-based system” that insures 158 million people who comprise the vast bulk of all privately insured Americans.

		<description><![CDATA[As part of his last-ditch effort to revive the Senate’s undead health reform bill, President Obama has proposed a federal board to veto health insurance premiums it finds “unreasonable and unjustified.” In case you’re wondering, all 50 states already do this, albeit with the countervailing requirement that premiums must also be “adequate” to assure insurance [...]]]></description>

It has withstood all technical, actuarial, financial, behavioral, and economic challenges to date. This would be gratifying if it weren’t for one annoying loose end—the political [...]]]></description>
