What can we expect?
• Growing shift of health care costs to consumers/patients• Bad debt shift from uncompensated care to patients with
insurance (with high deductibles, co-pays, premium shares) who can’t or won’t pay.
• Patients with increased out of pocket expense will pull back on demand and look for cheaper alternatives. Healthcare much more sensitive to economy.
• Changes in Medicaid at the federal level that could have big impact in Alaska – block grants, per capita cap
