Case Review
Your friend Alicia is puzzled by an observation she read in a newspaper column:
Research by John Wennberg and colleagues at Dartmouth Medical School suggest that if everyone in America went to Mayo Clinic for care, our annual healthcare bill would be 25 percent lower (more than $500 billion in savings!), and the average quality of care would improve.
It makes sense to Alicia that, given Mayo’s reputation, the average quality of care would improve if everyone received care of the caliber Mayo provides. The part she doesn’t understand is how providing Mayo Clinic–level care could possibly reduce annual expenditures on healthcare by 25 percent. Wouldn’t it cost more to provide better care? If anything, Alicia believes, providing everyone Mayo Clinic–level care would increase expenditures by 25 percent. Did the columnist get the facts wrong? Address Alicia’s puzzlement with a clear, complete explanation.
