Health Care Spending Slowdown: The Consumer Paradox (PDF)
Dobson DaVanzo. for Federation of American Hospitals Link to more items from this source
Aug. 4, 2014
"[The current] trend of growth in out-of-pocket spending combined with increases in health insurance premiums that outpace increases in wages is not sustainable over the long term, and harms both patients and providers .... Both payers (including employers) and providers ... require some level of predictability and capital reserves. Major disruptions to the operating environment for providers, payers and/or employers may generate uncertainty, which ultimately could flow down to consumers in the form of higher premium contributions and out-of-pocket spending."
