That’s a good insight, population management would be the key for both the developed and developing world. Improvement in health standards can be brought about only by population management
Regardless of your idealogical persuasion, inaction is no longer (and hasn’t been for quite some time now) an option. The more proactive thinkers and doers in the space are busy making it happen. Whether the individual mandate is struck by the Supreme or not, innovation will continue. Shifting from an episodes of care delivered in discontinuous silos framework to a population management perspective is a immense improvement in both outlook and psychology. Thanks for your comment!
