PRICE-WATERHOUSE-COOPER STUDY 2009
More than half of our
2 Trillion $ Health Care costs are wasted each year!
This is Due to Three Main Reasons:
1.) OUR LIFESTYLES
200 Billion $ - due to Obesity (2008)
191 Billion $ - due to Smoking (2007)
174 Billion $ - due to Diabetes (2007)
2.) CLINICAL PROBLEMS
90 Billion $ - due to Over Rx/misuse of ER’s etc.
210 Billion $ - due to Over Charging/Excessive testing (defensive Rx)
3.) EXCESSIVE OPERATIONAL COSTS
An Example is that
John Hopkins spends:
210 Billion $ - due to Over 700 health plans
(each one different with own set rules)
EMI helps control costs at each of these 3 major areas! |
