Overview of Presentation  New data on uninsurance and coverage trends  Health care spending in Minnesota: –National perspective –Private insurance market trends: Premiums and claims costs Enrollee cost sharing –Drivers of cost increases

New Data on Uninsurance and Coverage Trends

Uninsurance Rate Trends in Minnesota, 2001 to 2007 Source: Minnesota Health Access Surveys, 2001 to 2007 * Indicates statistically significant difference from previous year shown (95% confidence level).

Sources of Insurance Coverage in Minnesota, 2001 to 2007 Source: Minnesota Health Access Surveys, 2001 to 2007 * Indicates statistically significant difference from previous year shown (95% confidence level).

Access to Employer Coverage, 2001 to 2007 (Non-elderly population) Source: Minnesota Health Access Surveys, 2001 to 2007 Indicates statistically significant difference from previous year shown (95% confidence level). **Among people with a connection to an employer offering coverage. ***Among people eligible to enroll in employer coverage

Potential Access to Coverage for the Uninsured, 2001 to 2007 Source: Minnesota Health Access Surveys, 2001 to 2007 Indicates statistically significant difference from previous year shown (95% confidence level).

Summary of Insurance Coverage Trends  From 2004 to 2007, the uninsurance rate was stable in Minnesota after increasing from 2001 to 2004  The share of the population with employer based health insurance stabilized  It continues to be true that a large share of the uninsured are potentially eligible for public insurance programs  In addition, there continue to be large differences in insurance status by income, age, and race/ethnicity

Private Health Insurance Market Cost Trends in Minnesota

Key Minnesota Health Care Cost and Economic Indicators, 1995 to 2006 Notes: health care cost is MN privately insured spending on health care services per person, and does not include enrollee out of pocket spending for deductibles, copayments/coinsurance, and services not covered by insurance.. Sources: Health care cost data from Minnesota Department of Health, Health Economics Program; per capita personal income from U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis; inflation data from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (consumer price index); workers’ wages from MN Department of Employment and Economic Development

Health Care Cost Drivers: Spending Growth and Shares of Total Growth by Service, 2004 to 2006 Note: growth rates calculated as annual growth per enrollee over the 2-year period. “Other medical” includes skilled nursing facilities, home health care, emergency services, services of health professionals other than physicians and dentists, durable medical goods, and chemical dependency/mental health. Source: MDH Health Economics Program. Growth RateShare of Spending Growth

Summary of Private Market Premium and Cost Trends  Health insurance premiums and underlying cost growth both increased in 2006 –Reversal of recent trend –Growth continues to be faster than growth in incomes/wages  Enrollee out of pocket spending continues to rise at a faster rate than overall spending  Major drivers of cost for 2004 to 2006 continue to be physician and hospital services –These services are a large share of total spending to begin with

Health Care Cost Drivers

Drivers of Health Care Spending: Many Levels of Analysis $ Spent on Health Care Who pays (employers, consumers, govt, etc.)? What services are purchased (hospital, drugs, etc.)? What causes changes in spending for a particular category of service? Price Quantity Change in mix of services provided Factors affecting price: -Market structure -Labor costs & other inputs -Technology -Economy/general inflation -Other factors Factors affecting quantity/type of services: -Prevalence of disease -Demographics -Lifestyle/behavior -Genetics -Environment -Technology -Consumer and provider incentives - Other factors

How Is Minnesota’s Age Distribution Changing? Sources: U.S. Census Bureau and Minnesota State Demographic Center

Variation in Health Care Spending by Age Source: Agency for HeatlhCare Research and Quality, Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, data for per capita spending by age group in the Midwest. Excludes spending for long-term care institutions.

Trends in Overweight/Obesity in Minnesota Normal Weight Overweight Obese Source: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey

Impact of Rising Obesity on Health Care Costs (National study)  Increasing prevalence –Between 1987 and 2001, obesity prevalence increased 10.3 percentage points, while normal weight prevalence declined 13 percentage points  Widening gap between health care spending for obese vs normal weight population –Difference grew from 15% to 37%  As a result of both these factors, obesity-related health spending accounted for an estimated 27% of inflation-adjusted per capita health spending increases –41% of the rise in heart disease spending –38% of the rise in diabetes-related spending Source: Thorpe et al., “The Impact of Obesity on Rising Medical Spending,” Health Affairs, October 2004.

Technology  Advances in technology can be reflected in: –Better diagnosis – more cases identified –Better treatment – more cases treatable –Higher (or lower) cost per treated case  Most economists agree that advances in technology have accounted for a majority of increases in health care spending over time  Recently, we have seen renewed policy concerns about a “medical arms race” –MDH report to the legislature in 2007 on medical facilities highlighted distorted signals that current payment systems send to markets

Technology  Cutler, “Your Money or Your Life”: –In general, technological advance has been “worth it” in terms of benefits that exceed costs –However, there are pervasive problems: Opportunities to prevent the need for high-tech interventions are missed Overuse, misuse, and underuse of care –“You get what you pay for”: The system we have pays well for intensive interventions and doesn’t pay well for care management and prevention David Cutler, “Your Money or Your Life,” Oxford University Press, 2004

Summary  Health care costs continue to grow faster than incomes, wages, and inflation  Erosion of private coverage, driven in part by rising cost, creates pressure on public programs  Some cost drivers, like aging, can’t be changed  Others can be changed. Potential strategies include: –Payment reform –Prevention and health promotion
