What's
in the stars
for health care in 1999? January 18, 1999 That's what we aimed to find out. So, we asked health care stars what they thought would be the most remarkable change or event in health care in 1999. Most believe issues of access and cost will continue to create problems, and few think that this year will be the one in which our society finds a workable way to solve our healthcare woes. The bottom line for most experts is simple: The new year will be nothing to brag about unless we make progress in expanding access, controlling costs, and improving the ability of patients to get what they need at a realistic price. But as you read the following predictions, remember even experts have their limitations. There is a proverb in Japan, "He who can see three days ahead will be rich for 3,000 years." Leanne
