Building Health Care Better Means Reining in Costs
President Biden has promised an economic plan to Build Back Better. After the disaster wrought by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, that is absolutely necessary. But rebuilding involves more than just repairing the damage from the virus itself. The US economy had glaring weak points before COVID-19, and President Biden will need to address those flaws. Of necessity, this will take the president into the economics of health care
New Rules for the Pandemic Era
Coronavirus disease 2019 is not the world's first pandemic, and it is unlikely to be the last
Where Health Improvement Lags in Recent Decades—Pain and Mental Health
How Will Covid-19 Affect the Health Care Economy
Coronavirus disease 2019 has created an economic crisis alongside a health care crisis
The Association Between Income and Life Expectancy in the United States, 2001-2014
IMPORTANCE: The relationship between income and life expectancy is well established but remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: To measure the level, time trend, and geographic variability in the association between income and life expectancy and to identify factors related to small area variation. DESIGN AND SETTING: Income data for the US population were obtained from 1.4 billion deidentified tax records between 1999 and 2014. Mortality data wer…
Effects of Local Health Interventions on Inequality in Life Expectancy
The article examines the relationship between income and life expectancy in the U.S. Particular focus is given to data drawn from tax and Social Security records. Additional topics discussed include how the largest gap is between the richest one percent and the poorest one percent of Americans, the impact that immigrants, college graduation rates and local government expenditures had on the data, and how data from the study discussed is available…
Health, functioning, and disability in older adults—present status and future implications
Workplace Wellness Programs Can Generate Savings
Amid soaring health spending, there is growing interest in workplace disease prevention and wellness programs to improve health and lower costs. In a critical meta-analysis of the literature on costs and savings associated with such programs, we found that medical costs fall by about $3.27 for every dollar spent on wellness programs and that absenteeism costs fall by about $2.73 for every dollar spent. Although further exploration of the mechanis…
Patient, Physician, and Payment Predictors of Statin Adherence
BACKGROUND: Although many patient, physician, and payment predictors of adherence have been described, knowledge of their relative strength and overall ability to explain adherence is limited. OBJECTIVES: To measure the contributions of patient, physician, and payment predictors in explaining adherence to statins. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study using administrative data. SUBJECTS: A total of 14,257 patients insured by Horizon Blue Cr…
The Benefits of Risk Factor Prevention in Americans Aged 51 Years and Older
Objectives. We assessed the potential health and economic benefits of reducing common risk factors in older Americans. Methods. A dynamic simulation model tracked a national cohort of persons 51 and 52 years of age to project their health and medical spending in prevention scenarios for diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and smoking. Results. The gain in life span from successful treatment of a person aged 51 or 52 years for obesity would be 0.85 y…
Education and Health
There is a large and persistent association between education and health. In this paper, we review what is known about this link. We first document the facts about the relationship between education and health. The education 'gradient' is found for both health behaviors and health status, though the former does not fully explain the latter. The effect of education increases with increasing years of education, with no evidence of a sheepskin effec…
The Determinants of Mortality
The pleasures of life are worth nothing if one is not alive to experience them. Through the twentieth century in the United States and other high-income countries, growth in real incomes was accompanied by a historically unprecedented decline in mortality rates that caused life expectancy at birth to grow by nearly 30 years. In the years just after World War II, life expectancy gaps between countries were falling across the world. Poor countries …
The role of public health improvements in health advances
Mortality rates in the United States fell more rapidly during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries than in any other period in American history. This decline coincided with an epidemiological transition and the disappearance of a mortality “penalty” associated with living in urban areas. There is little empirical evidence and much unresolved debate about what caused these improvements, however. In this article, we report the causal i…
