1. Dollars and Sense: Medicare is Sustainable
if we do our work differently
Michael M Rachlis MD MSc FRCPC LLD
Quebec Medical Association April 20, 2012
www.michaelrachlis.ca
2. Current received wisdom
• Health Care costs are wildly out of control
• My fellow baby boomers and I will really
deep six Medicare as we get older
• The only alternatives are to either hack
services, go private, or better yet do both
• We need an “adult conversation” about
whom gets tossed out of the life raft
2
4. What’s my story?
• What’s the diagnosis
– Health Care costs are not “out of control”
– The aging population won’t break the bank
– Most of health care’s problems are due to antiquated,
processes of care
• What are the solutions
– We need to complete Tommy Douglas's vision for the
Second Stage of Medicare -- a patient-friendly
delivery system focussed on keeping people healthy
• How do we get there?
– What are the roles for health care providers
– What is the role of the medical profession

9. The sustainability of Medicare in Canada
• Health slowly increased its share of Canadian GDP from 2000
to 2008
• Health’s share of GDP rose dramatically in 2009 because the
economy collapsed.
• In 2010 and 2011, governments controlled costs, the
economy grew again, and health decreased its share of GDP
• This downward trend of health costs as a share of GDP will
likely continue for the next 3-5 years
• Public health care spending in 2011 was 0.6% higher than its
previous peak in 1992 (8% in relative terms) vs. private sector
cost rise of 0.9% (35% in relative terms)

17. The shrinking Canadian public sector
• Overall Canadian government revenues have
fallen by 5.8% of GDP from 2000 to 2010, the
equivalent of $94 Billion in lost revenue
– Just half of this, 47 Billion, could eliminate all 2012
Canadian government deficits OR fund first dollar
universal pharmacare, long term care and home care
AND regulated child care for all parents who want it
AND free university tuition AND build 15,000 units of
affordable housing units AND the new fighter jets

19. The aging population won’t kill Medicare
• Canada is aging and health costs increase with age
• But Aging of the population per se has had and
will have only a moderate impact on health
expenditures
• Aging is like a glacier not a tsunami. We have lots
of time to prepare and adapt our health system
before we get swamped!
– The elderly are healthier than ever
– High performing health systems can hold costs while
enhancing quality of care for the frail elderly

33. We need to change the way we deliver
services
“Removing the financial barriers between
the provider of health care and the
recipient is a minor matter, a matter of
law, a matter of taxation. The real
problem is how do we reorganize the
health delivery system. We have a health
delivery system that is lamentably out of
date.”
Tommy Douglas 1982
34. Catching Medicare’s second stage
“I am concerned about Medicare – not its
fundamental principles -- but with the problems we
knew would arise. Those of us who talked about
Medicare back in the 1940’s, the 1950’s and the
1960’s kept reminding the public there were two
phases to Medicare. The first was to remove the
financial barrier between those who provide health
care services and those who need them. We
pointed out repeatedly that this phase was the
easiest of the problems we would confront.”
Tommy Douglas 1979
35. “The phase number two would be the much
more difficult one and that was to alter our
delivery system to reduce costs and put and
emphasis on preventative medicine….
Canadians can be proud of Medicare, but
what we have to apply ourselves to now is
that we have not yet grappled seriously with
the second phase.”
Tommy Douglas 1979
36. The Second Stage of
Medicare is delivering
health services differently
to keep people well

– The Hamilton Family Medicine Mental
Health Program increased access for

provides care to 250,000 patients

• Follow the 10 commandments for quality
• Create quality workplaces for providers
• New roles for health care providers
• A new role for doctors and the medical
profession

52. Crossing the Quality Chasm: Ten Rules to
Heal the Health Care System (www.iom.edu)
1. Care should be based upon continuous healing relationships
instead of mainly in-person visits.
2. Care should be customized for individual patients’ needs and
values instead of being dictated by professionals.
3. Care should be under the control of patients not
professionals.
4. Knowledge about care should be shared freely between
patients and providers and between different providers. This
transfer should take maximal advantage of leading-edge
information technology. Patients should have unrestricted
access to their records.
5. Clinicians should make decisions on the basis of the best
scientific evidence. Care should not vary illogically from clinician
to clinician or from place to place.
53. Crossing the Quality Chasm:
Ten Rules to Heal the Health Care System
6. Safety is the responsibility of the whole system not individual
providers.
7. The content of care is made transparent instead of being held in
secret. The health system should give as much information as is
required to patients and families to enable them to fully
participate in clinical decisions, including where to seek care.
8. Patients’ needs should be, as much as possible, anticipated and
not treated in a reactive fashion.
9. The health care system should continually decrease waste
(goods, services, and time) instead of focusing on cost reduction.
10. Providers should cooperate and work in high-functioning teams
instead of attempting to work in isolation. Concern for patients
should drive cooperation among providers and drive out
competition based upon professional and organizational rivalries.
55. New roles for health care providers
• Patient and family centred care means big
changes in roles for providers and patients,
especially for chronic disease
• Providers now need to be more like
supportive coaches than deliverers of the
revealed truth

• The Eden Alternative in Long Term care
– Human relationships are the key to quality of life

60. “Deputy ministers last 18 months,
Ministers last 2-3 years, CEOs rarely last 4
years. I’ve been here for 15 years and I will
be here forever. I can’t make change but I
can block it!”
Dr. Richard Steyn, Thoracic surgeon
Birmingham UK
60
61. High performing health organizations
and physician engagement: There are
only two models.
1. A disciplined medical group that co-
manages with the board
E.g. The Kaiser Permanente system in the US,
the Sault Ste. Marie Group Health Centre
2. Doctors as salaried employees
E.g. The Mayo clinic, the Cleveland Clinic, and
the Saskatoon Community Clinic
61
62. Summary:
• Health Care costs are not out of control
• The aging population won’t break the bank
• Medicare was and is good public policy
• Our health system’s problems reflect our failure to
implement Tommy Douglas’s Second Stage of
Medicare
• There are affordable solutions to all of our apparently
intractable problems
• Health care providers, especially doctors, need to do
their work differently to ensure Medicare’s
sustainability
