Answer 1

Ans) Giving U.S. consumers control over their health insurance spending would transform the health insurance market, better aligning consumers' and innovators' interests. We are already seeing this in the case of the increasingly popular low-cost, high-deductible health insurance policies offered by many employers.

- The trends that will increasingly impact multiple healthcare stakeholders over the next few years (through 2018) include:
• Patients becoming more informed consumers.
Growth of structured quality measures.
• Revenue-driving consolidation.
• New and alternative provider payment models.
• Specialty drug use driving the cost of care.
