5:31 am
now becky quick. >> we begin with the ever-rising cost of health care. a study found even people with health insurance are deciding to skip doctors visits and medical tests. it is because of a fear of the bills that will follow they're making a choice of cost versus care. it is this week's cover story. >> you know, health care is very expensive for us. >> the affordable care act was signed into law eight years ago, but for many medical care today is less affordable than ever u.s. health care costs keep rising, to more than $10,000 a year per person in 2016. >> do i worry about the cost absolutely and it is challenging to figure out which doctor i can go to it is almost more trouble to go to the doctor than it is to stay hem and deal with it. >> a new national poll conducted at the university of chicago found people are skipping recommended medical tests or treatments because of cost. >> sometimes i do that i decide not to go to the doctor
5:32 am
because of the extra cost. >> over the last year, 44% of america americans said they didn't go to the doctor when sick or injured even though 80% of those had health insurance. >> my health insurance is good, but i'm worried sometimes about the deductible because sometimes it can be high. >> the same poll found americans fear medical bills more than serious illness. 33% are extremely afraid or very afraid of getting seriously ill, but 40% say paying for health care is more frightening than the illness itself. >> i do worry about it styles, but, you know, you have to do what you have to do. >> the cleveland clinic consistently ranks among the nation's best hospitals in the nation tom is the ceo of the cleveland clinic i want to thank you for being with us today. >> becky, thank you for having me. >> does it surprise you to hear this, that even people with insurance are choosing to skip medical care because of the cost >> well, there have been so many changes in health care landscape
5:33 am
in the united states that this news is not entirely surprising, no. >> maybe not surprising, but you'll guessing as a doctor it toss concern you what are the consequences of people either delaying or skipping medical care, either over the short term or long term >> one of the most important consequence is skipping the medical care or delaying care ultimately impacts the quality of care, impacts the outcome, and untimely visits or delay of the visits to the physicians ultimately leads to the increased cost of care because the cost of care is not delivered in a timely fashion. >> you know, medical costs are one of the few areas where there is still so much opaqueness. you're not going to know how much you're paying until sometimes months after you have received the care. that's because we don't know how much care costs, how much procedures costs, and there's not really good ways for people to shop around for those issues. >> the part of the problem here is that the health care tends to be very, very complex and every
5:34 am
patient typically requires a number of procedures or tests to be done. so it isreally difficult to estimate the upfront cost of care. >> maybe the upfront cost of care is tough to say, but i can say if i want to get a mammogram or cat scan, i can't even tell you how much that would cost because at different facilities the exact same test using the exact same equipment is going to cost something different. >> you are absolutely right. i think there is an absolute need for increased transparency when it comes to cost and this is one of the mandates for our industry as a whole. >> what is the cleveland clinic doi doing to try to help medical costs get lower? >> we are constantly looking how to make our care more accessible and more affordable and of higher quality there are a number of things we do in our daily work one of the probably most important measures is to standardize the procedures of care when we reduce the variability
5:35 am
about the way we take care of patients, we tend to de-reese the cost and improve the quality of care we mean. >> what does it mean a real world example, for somebody to has beento the cleveland clinic what's a place they might see lower pricing as a result of some of the things you talked about? >> for example, one of the common conditions is back pain back pain is the condition that millions and millions of americans suffer from. we have been able through a standardized approach to treat patients with the back pain, reduce the number of unnecessary surgeries. through that also decrease the cost of care and improve the well-being of our patients. >> we've had years of battles in washington over health care. a lot of different federal approaches to some of these things we've seen obamacare come in, we've seen the repeal of some of that by the republicans. do you think that we will see lower health care cost at some point based on something the
5:36 am
federal government does or is it more likely to come from private industry, maybe something like what jp morganne and berkshire hathaway and amazon are teaming up with? what do you think will be the best solutions where do you think they will come from? >> i'm firmly convinced the best solution will be the combination of both approaches the government role in health care is necessary, a regulatory framework exists in every developed country when it comes to health care, but the speed of coming up to the right decisions is oftentimes delivered best in a private hands and through private providers and non--for-profit organizations. >> thank you for your time today, doctor. >> thank you for having me ♪ now here is a look at what is making news as we head into a new week "on the money." americans were busy shopping last month retail sales increased by .6 of a% sent percent in march, whic
