“…Most retail clinics are associated with chain drugstores, supermarkets, or other "big box" retailers. 24 A study of national retail clinic visits found "year-over-year doubling" in 2007, 2008, and 2009, and estimated that in 2009 retail clinics accounted for $460 million in health care spending. 25 Nearly 5,000 retail clinics are projected in the United States by 2015.…”

For the first time, entrepreneurs are aggressively developing new technologies and business models designed to improve individual and population health, not just to deliver specialized medical care. Consumers of these goods and services are not yet "patients"; they are simply people.

In the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision largely upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, many stakeholders have renewed their commitment to health care reform. In fact, a new political economy of health care has emerged that is characterized by three dynamics. One is the "log-rolling" dynamic of distributive politics, as evident in mutually supportive efforts for maintenance and expansion of subsidies and other opportunities to advance the interests of stakeholders. A second is the cut-throat zero-sum politics of interest-group conflict, as evident in the intense competition among stakeholders for limited resources and authority. The third dynamic is the result of the emotional and ideological conflicts of resource redistribution. These new dynamics may make repeal of reform more daunting than expected.

“…In the past, certainly, health-care systems that pursued size and market power were better at raising prices than at lowering them. 55 51 See Sage (2007), Bohmer (2007). 52 For other possible reforms, see Epstein and Hyman (2012).…”
