"As a group, employers and individuals pick up the biggest portion of the U.S. healthcare bill and unlike the other inputs to an organization’s supply chain where the value proposition improves every year, the norm in healthcare for decades is you get less and pay more. Where employers in other industries have seen great improvements in productivity, healthcare hasn’t had a productivity gain in 20 years. In other words, for 20 years there has been a redistribution “tax” from highly efficient companies to the least productive industry in America."
