Before I
start, I would like to engage the group by asking a few questions related to
health care…
|
|
What
country has the youngest average age in the world? The USA
|
|
What
country spends the most on health care?
The USA
|
|

In an
article written in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2004, I
saw a graph that listed different countries around the world and the average
health care cost per individual was between 3-5,000 in the US and 500 in
Greece…

Our
programs are funded through indirect dollars and operate under the integrated
enabling system work package. We have
had tremendous amount of support from our medical director who is unique in
that he is also the director for our benefits dept. He looks at health Care Costs in the
aggregate- Not only from a clinical/occ med cost standpoint but benefits as
well. Our unique organization structure
allows us the put integrate and try to get the most value out of the Sandia
Health Care Dollar.
