Health Care Cost-Sharing Works -- Up to a Point
The New York Times; subscription may be required May 26, 2014
"Though [a recent] study found large initial decreases in health spending, they were not fully sustained. Spending under the high-deductible plan fell 25 percent in its first year, consistent with the 30 percent found in the [1970] RAND study, but much of that reduction in spending evaporated over time ... Yes, saving another 5 percent or so in health care costs is not nothing. But a one-time, 5 percent reduction in costs ... will swiftly be overtaken by annual health care cost inflation. It may delay the moment of reckoning, but won't avoid it."
