55 VideoInsights: The Hidden Costs of U.S. Health Care for Consumers When most people think about health care, doctors, hospitals, insurance premiums and prescriptions come to mind. But spending often goes beyond that, to purchases that are outside of conventional therapies and treatments and home care for family members. Taking all of these expenses into account, a recent study by the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions and the Deloitte Center for Financial Services found that consumers spent 363 billion, or 13 percent, more for health care goods and services in 2009 than is captured in official government accounts. In fact, these out of pocket health care costs consume 16 percent of the average U.S. households discretionary spending, second only to housing costs. In the latest episode of Deloitte Insights, Paul Keckley, PhD, executive director of the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, part of Deloitte LLP, discusses the study and what it reveals about this substantial and increasing burden in the average household. 4/11/11 Free View In iTunes

56 VideoInsights: Health Care Reform: Turning Risk Into Opportunity When most people think about health care, doctors, hospitals, insurance premiums and prescriptions come to mind. But spending often goes beyond that, to purchases that are outside of conventional therapies and treatments and home care for family members. Taking all of these expenses into account, a recent study by the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions and the Deloitte Center for Financial Services found that consumers spent 363 billion, or 13 percent, more for health care goods and services in 2009 than is captured in official government accounts. In fact, these out of pocket health care costs consume 16 percent of the average U.S. household discretionary spending, second only to housing costs. Reforms in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are changing the way health care companies do business. And one result of this type of industry game changer is an uptick in merger and acquisition, M and A, activity. Those companies that will be adversely affected by health care reform are going to need to merge to survive. Other companies may see growth opportunities through the acquisition of businesses that they may have never been able to acquire otherwise. In this episode of Deloitte Insights, Simon Gisby, managing director of Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC, and Phil Pfrang, partner in Deloitte and Touche LLP, discuss how health care providers and health plans can prepare for industry overhaul and M and A conversations. 4/11/11 Free View In iTunes

Interesting insights, but is a very general overview

by Tim Grammer

I definitely enjoy this podcast for it's interesting insights into various areas of business. It is understandably very focused on areas of business consulting and does have a lot of the "consultant speak" topics such as enterprise risk management and corporate governance practices, and the like. It is very general and only gives the 10,000 foot viewpoint without a lot of detials. But practically speaking, I guess they have to do this because I don't know how many people would listen to the alternative of a detailed 1 hour rundown on ERM best practices....

Relevant, Timely, Informative

by innov8

These podcasts are a great way to get some of the best thinking on issues affecting business, government and society today. The Q & A format encourages thoughtful, insightful responses. I regularly "assign" some of the podcasts to the participants of a senior leadership development program that I conduct for the State of New York. These are very busy people that need to get information in ways that are fast, engaging and digestable. Thanks for helping me build a meaningful curriculum for people who need this information.

Insights is a good name for these podcasts

by LHB523

These are insightful and cover a wide range of business issues, all of which I find interesting. Very well produced, and the Deloitte speakers have new and different viewpoints, which are very compelling. I listen every week and look forward to the next episode.
