T he future of health care will depend on whether the industry shifts the foundation of responsibility and support. Providers guide treatment, but outcomes are determined in the daily lives of the people they serve. Real progress happens when individuals and families are equipped and supported in playing an active role in managing their health. In practical terms, a healthcare system that succeeds at scale will look fundamentally different from today’s model, which relies on brief clinical interactions and assumes individuals will carry out complex care plans on their own. In this proposed model, these changes become standard operating practices. In the United States, healthcare is one of the largest sectors of the economy and represents one of the highest expenditures relative to the gross domestic product (GDP). As of 2024, U.S. healthcare spending reached 18% of GDP and is projected to rise to 20.3% by 2033.
“Value-based care needs to shift from just the provider and payer to the consumer. In any other system, it comes down to truth or consequences. It has to pass to the person, not just the person trying to fix the person.”

Projections National health expenditures are expected to rise from $5.3 trillion in 2024 to $8.6 trillion by 2033, growing faster than the overall economy (CMS, 2024) .
