What is behind the rising costs in the healthcare marketplace and when is it going to stop?
Healthcare costs are escalating at a rate we have not seen since the 1980’s, and the healthcare industry is predicting that the cost of healthcare programs will increase an average of 13% to 16% in 2002. Unfortunately, healthcare costs are expected to increase at a double digit pace for the next several years unless a fundamental change is made in the way healthcare is delivered.
