This might seem a little self serving since I sent this tweet in reply to Georg Margelis’ comment. It’s a really good question though and one I’ve been starting to think about recently. I’ve often heard that the really sick people are the ones that cost healthcare so much money. My question is whether keeping them healthy just delays the costs or whether keeping them healthy actually costs less money long term.

This is a pretty cool Monkey game from Kaiser. Although, the real value in this article is better understanding some of the approaches that Kaiser is taking to healthcare. So many people salivate over working with Kaiser. It’s good to understand what they are and aren’t looking for if you’re looking for that relationship.
