Investors have to get real about Healthcare

June 1, 2011

Analysis of:U.S. scores dead last again in healthcare study | www.reuters.com

Healthcare costs are crippling America’s competiveness and our economic recovery. They are about 20% of the US economy and over 30% of the total Federal Budget. The healthcare debate rages on, however, with complete disregard of the proven facts on how to reduce healthcare costs and improve quality and access.

Distinguishing Fact from Fiction in Care Management Outcomes Reports

March 8, 2011

Analysis of:States Take Lead in Adopting Medical Home Models | www.aafp.org

Too many bad policy decisions are made based on published, often peer-reviewed studies in which the numbers simply don't add up. The most often-cited example in patient-centered medical homes is the North Carolina Medicaid Community Care Access Program, alleged to save $300,000,000/year by now. However, the keynote at next week's Disease Management Colloquium in Philadelphia (www.dmconferences.com) will demonstrate that this number is fictional, and is easily refuted by actual data.

A Fresh Perspective on Executive Compensation levels in the Finance industry

March 8, 2010

Analysis of:US Financial Firms' Top Executive Bonuses Up 17 Percent in 2009 | www1.voanews.com

We are justifying enormous compensation packages in the Finance Industry particularly to "purchase" a business risk insurance caused by the impact of technology and the outdated organizations that have an over concentration of risk in key individuals and roles. Management's false argument is that they have to do it to retain key talent.Because internal equity is a key element of compensation design the senior management have a vested interest in the people working for them being highly paid.

A fresh perspective of Executive Compensation Levels and Business Risk

January 20, 2010

Analysis of:SIMFA Guidelines for Compensation | www.sifma.org

Executive Compensation has become such an emotive issue that the key points are being missed and shareholders are confused about the logic behind reasonable compensation. Investors need to look not only at fundamental incentive compensation practices and their impact on risk taking, they need also to be looking at the concentration of business risk in key individuals, indicated by the justification for excessive compensation levels.

But the competition is increasing. On one hand, professional employer organizations, which typically target companies with fewer than 500 employees, are moving up-market.

What is the Future for the US Health Care Industry?

October 15, 2009

Analysis of:Facts on Healthcare | www.nchc.org

What is really going on in our Health Care Industry is being blurred with emotion, politics and self interest propaganda. Any of the other major industrial countries would provide regulated quality Universal Healthcare for more than $1 trillion dollars less than we are spending now. This waste is draining about $500 billion of our tax dollars, $300 billion of corporate expense and $200 billion of consumer spending. The key question is, "is Regulating the Health Care Industry inevitable?"
