High Prices

 

 

The Anderson article asserts that the reason the US spends so much on healthcare is the high prices we pay for hospital stays, medicine etc. It goes on to say that there is a widening gap between prices payed in public and private sectors. ACOs and other providers are working to lower their costs. However, the data needed to analyze and understand costs is not always provided to consumers. Despite the triple aim goal of lowering costs, we are not seeing prices for consumers going down. If prices have only gone up despite our efforts, is the goal of lowering prices even possible? What more is needed to successfully address healthcare costs? Cite evidence from Anderson or new information that you have researched. Present some data that you find compelling to support your viewpoint.
