The survey found that voters are most concerned about COVID-19, the economy/jobs, and health insurance costs in deciding how to vote for president. On health care specifically, voters said the most important issue is the cost of health insurance coverage. Most voters believe the government's role should be providing oversight and incentives to lower costs rather than directly setting prices. Measures targeting specific cost drivers like wasteful spending saw strong support, while a single government insurance plan was opposed by many groups including seniors. On prescription drugs, voters favored incentives over requirements for domestic manufacturing but felt avoiding supply disruptions was important during the pandemic.

86% of Americans believe developing cures for more forms of cancer should be one of the top national health priorities, followed by developing effective treatments for heart disease (78 percent) and more intensive medical care for seniors (76 percent), according to a new survey commissioned by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) and conducted by Hart Research Associates.
Eighty percent of Americans believe the prices of prescription medications are unreasonable. PharmacyChecker president and co-founder, Gabriel Levitt, spoke at the New York Retirees Association of District Council 37 September 2018 meeting about the prescription drug price crisis in America and how international online pharmacies can help seniors today. With around 200-300 members in attendance, the members didn’t hold back in expressing shock at the numbers surrounding the current state of drug prices in the United States vs. the rest of the world. Commonly prescribed drugs, that many uninsured or under-insured Americans can’t afford are much less in Canada and other countries.
Sutherland Institute Utah Medicare Expansion Survey Summary 091514Magellan Strategies
The survey finds that Utah registered voters are reluctant to favor any of the four Medicaid expansion proposals currently being considered by Governor Herbert and the state legislature. Of the four Medicaid expansion proposals that were tested in the survey, no individual proposal received 50% support among respondents. After explaining the details of each proposal in a stand-alone question format, on average 30% of respondents were unsure if they favored or opposed the proposals. Of the four proposals, the “Do Not Expand Medicaid Right Now” proposal had the highest percentage of voters favoring a proposal with 45% and the lowest percentage opposing a proposal at 26%.
The Healthy Utah Proposal was favored by 32% of respondents, opposed by 40% of respondents, and 28% were unsure or did not have an opinion of the proposal. The Traditional Medicaid Expansion and Partial Medicaid Expansion proposals were the least favored proposals by voters, with only 21% and 19% favoring them respectively. A near majority of 49% and 48% of voters oppose the Traditional and Partial Medicaid Expansion proposals, respectively.
After respondents were informed about the details of each proposal and then asked to choose which one they believed was the best proposal that should be implemented, a plurality of 31% chose the “Do Not Expand Medicaid Right Now” proposal. Seventeen percent chose the Healthy Utah Proposal, 15% chose the Traditional Medicaid Expansion Proposal, and 10% chose the Partial Medicaid Expansion Proposal. One in five respondents, or 20%, were unsure or did not know which proposal was the best and should be implemented, and 7% did not like any of the proposals.

Understanding the vocabulary of health insurance helps in selecting and using coverage effectively. eHealthInsurance commissioned a national study to determine public awareness of select health insurance terminology and the specifics of health insurance coverage. Americans admit to a health insurance vocabulary deficit.
Only a fourth (23%) feel they are very sure of what the terminology used in their health insurance policy actually means.
A third are somewhat sure of what the terminology actually means (32%).
One-fourth are not very sure (13%) or have no idea (10%) what the terminology used in their health insurance policy means.
One-fifth report they don’t have health insurance (21%).
The public demonstrates its lack of familiarity with health insurance terminology by not knowing what some of the key abbreviations stand for.
Only one-third of Americans (36%) can volunteer that HMO stands for health maintenance organization.
Only one-fifth (20%) recall that PPO stands for Preferred Provider Organization.
Only one out of nine (11%) recalls that HSA stands for Health Savings Account.
When asked how sure they were with some of the specifics of their health insurance policy, most people said they were very sure of the amount of their co-payment (61%), but half or fewer were very sure they knew the amounts of other basic elements of their coverage:
Half said they were very sure of what they paid for their health insurance premiums (50%).
45% were very sure of their annual deductible.
41% were very sure of the level of their plan’s co-insurance.
35% were very sure of their maximum annual out-of-pocket costs.
For each of these items, one-fifth indicated that the questions were not relevant since they did not have health insurance (21%).

Learning Objective:
Discuss the importance of reducing healthcare expenditures and explore possible routes to doing so.
During the 2018 mid-term elections, candidates faced off making big claims that they would be the ones to fix healthcare. Now that they are back to work, what can we anticipate with a new Congress? Will we finally see improvements or gridlock? Join Bobbi Brown, MBA and Stephen Grossbart, PhD as they tackle these questions along with a 2018 lookback of what went right and 2019 predictions of the most important trends that will impact our daily work.
Beyond political maneuvering, in 2018 we saw material changes in the business of healthcare. The pace of mergers, acquisitions and partnerships was strong and deals like the pending acquisition of Aetna by CVS, could dramatically impact patient behavior and revenue streams. In addition, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) continues to support existing programs while adding new measures to support transparency, interoperability and a continued shift to value-based payments. What does this mean for your organization in 2019? View this webinar to learn more across these areas:
- The business of healthcare including new market entrants, business models and shifting strategies to stay competitive.
- Continuous quality and cost control monitoring across populations.
- CMS proposals to push ACOs into two-sided risk models.
- Historic changes to Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).
- Fewer process measures but more quality outcomes scrutiny for providers.
- Increased consumer demand for more transparency.
There are many challenges and opportunities for all of us in healthcare. Join Bobbi and Stephen as they draw upon their decades of experience to make sense of the past year and look ahead to give you guidance for the new year. This is the fourth year running that Bobbi has presented her predictions at the turn of the new year and past attendees will remember that her knack for predicting is uncanny and her stories are unforgettable. This time was no different.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Key Findings:
Government Role in Addressing Health Care Costs
• When it comes to lowering health care costs overall, voters want the role of
the federal government to be that of providing oversight and incentives to
encourage competition in health care rather than setting prices and
determining what is covered.
• By overwhelming margins, voters are much more supportive of measures
that address specific drivers of health care costs (reducing wasteful spending,
capping out-of-pocket costs, providing incentives) rather than putting in
place a single government run health insurance system with one plan that
covers all Americans.
• Seniors, which have the most experience with government run health
coverage, are the most opposed to this approach.
14. 14
We tested two approaches the federal government could do to lower health care costs. We
asked voters which approach they think is the better way for the U.S. health care system to work:
The federal government should provide oversight and incentives to
health care providers, prescription drug companies and health
insurers to encourage more competition to lower prices in the
health care system.
The federal government should set prices for health care services
and prescription medicines and determine what services and
medicines are covered by private health plans.
Which one of these approaches do you think is the better way for the health care system to work in the U.S.?

Key Findings:
Requiring U.S. Manufacturing of Prescription Drugs
• In terms of issues surrounding U.S. manufacturing of prescription drugs,
more than six in ten voters believe the U.S. government should provide more
incentives to encourage companies to manufacture drugs in the U.S. rather
than requiring them to source and manufacture drugs in the U.S. This belief
holds true across party.
• In light of CV-19, voters agree that we need to avoid doing anything that
would disrupt the prescription drug supply chain so companies can focus on
finding CV-19 treatments/vaccines.

Most voters agree that we need to avoid doing anything that would disrupt the prescription drug
supply chain so companies can focus on finding CV-19 treatments/ vaccines.
Although we need to increase
U.S. manufacturing, we need
to focus now on avoiding any
disruptions to our prescription
medicine supply chain from
other countries so companies
can focus on researching,
developing and ramping up
production of treatments and
vaccines to address the
coronavirus.
