Controlling health-care costs

Another American way
The success of Kaiser Permanente, an integrated American health-care firm, offers lessons for insurers and hospitals at home and abroad

The best such nugget, he reckons, is Kaiser Permanente (KP), a not-for-profit health insurer and hospital chain which last year took in $2 billion more than the $40 billion it spent.

For the most part, the American health system is dominated by cream-skimming health insurers and the myriad “fee for service” providers they do business with, which drive up costs by charging high prices for piece work. KP’s business model integrates fixed-price health insurance with treatment at its own hospitals and clinics. This has led to big efficiency gains, making KP one of the cheapest health-care providers in most of the regional markets in which it competes. Thanks to Mr Obama’s reforms, over 30m Americans will enter the health-insurance market over the next few years—and KP’s low prices should make it a big beneficiary.
