Upgrading from Disease Care to Health Care with Logan Christopher
Nuggets:
- No evidence of added benefit for most new drugs entering German healthcare system (Journal link)
- Can be an uphill battle for innovators in entrenched industries. For example, the American Medical Association conspired "to contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession” in the 80’s (Wiki link)
Action Steps:
- Solidify overall mission/vision of this alternative healthcare organization
- Perform market research around existing small business and/or medical associations, including what typical membership dues are.
- Contact small healthcare businesses and ask them about
- the problems they face from the entrenched healthcare system
- whether this idea would be helpful for them
- what benefits they’d like to see as members
- Contact large companies outside of medicine who are pushing healthier living (e.g. Fitbit, Nike, Under Armour, etc…) and pitch them this idea
