The Nature of Health Insurance
September 30, 2008 – 11:43 am by ScottSchoenvogelDrew Altman from the Kaiser Foundation (http://www.kff.org/pullingittogether/093008_altman.cfm) does a nice job of tactfully raising the question whether it is better for the nation if employers and individuals shift to more catastrophic forms of health insurance (think high deductible) or whether the view that comprehensive coverage is the key to access and societal good health (think expensive). While Compass is on the side of the fence that believes the true nature of health insurance should be more related to catastrophic events, I would offer the point that catastrophic health insurance is much more feasible from an access and society standpoint when you have health professionals helping individuals and employees gain access, find lower cost services, and provide understanding. It is the underlying philosophy behind the Compass consumer support and cost control solutions.
