Study Objective
Estimate the economic value of investment in health care over the past 20-30 years

3 Approaches to Triangulate ROI*Approach 1: Overall Health Care,1980-2000Approaches 2 & 3: AMI, Type 2 Diabetes, Stroke, Breast Cancer
Approach 2. Medicare (1985-2000) Approach 3. Major Innovations (1975-
2000)
* Value of Statistical Life year assumed to be $100K (Cutler 1997; Cutler McClellan et al, 2001, Viscusi 1993, Bloomquist 2001, Nordhaus 2002, Ubel et al 2003)

Approach 1: ROI Overall Health Care, 1980-2000
Compared changes in U.S. population morb/mort with…
Changes in total health care expenditures Monitorized only mortality gains Computed value of population health gains per
additional dollar invested (using 2000 vs 1980 rates)*

*Assumption: benefits and harms of non-health care even out (e.g. smoking, obesity, illegal drugs, environmental)

Approach 2: ROI Medicare, 1985-2000
Linked NLTC survey data with… Medicare claims for AMI, Diabetes, Stoke, Breast
Cancer Outcome Measures: 5 year survival, ADL limitations,
cognitive functioning, nursing home residence Monitorized both mortality & disability changes ROI: Dollar value of 5 year health benefits (less
beneficiary Rx & nursing home costs) compared to 5 year Medicare payments (1985-90 vs 1995-2000)

Approach 3: ROI Major Innovations 1975-2000 (4 diseases)
For each disease: Compiled 25 year timeline of “major
innovations” Compiled all CEA literature for each innovation Calculated ROI for each innovation

Conclusion: ROI US Health Care appears positive in terms of….
Overall HC Spending Medicare Spending and Major
innovations for Heart attack, Diabetes, Stoke, Breast Cancer…..
If we can agree that a year of life is worth $100,000
![Page 30: Estimating the Value of Investment: Medicare & Overall U.S. Health Care Services](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051621/56814868550346895db575ab/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Selected Discussion Issues
Value of Statistical Year of Life: $100,000? ROI Overall HC
Non HC balance out (smoking, obesity/diet, illegal drug use, violence, environmental)?
No productivity No disability
ROI Medicare: Includes disability but not productivity
ROI Interventions: Does not include productivity
ROI seems positive: Could we do better?

Implications
Public policy discussions about health care costs should (and can) be accompanied by estimates of value returned.
