2024 Health Care Prediction from Ellen Kelsay

We asked our readers and some members of our editorial advisory board to make predictions for 2024. Here's what Ellen Kelsay had to say:

“Healthcare costs will continue to soar, bringing heightened vigilance by employers as well as concerns about the affordability of medications and medical services. Employers will express growing alarm over the sustainability of and lack of transparency into drug pricing. One hundred percent of employers surveyed have some level of concern related to prescription drug trend, which is greatly fueling overall healthcare trend, according to our 2024 Large Employer Health Care Strategy Survey. Employers will place heightened expectations on their partners to deliver, in large part because of considerations regarding cost, quality and outcomes.”
