Reforming health insurance
Re: "Changing how we think about health insurance," Nov. 28 Perspective articles.
When Dr.
Jack Cochran
, executive medical director of Kaiser Permanente of Colorado, wrote about our new perspective on health care and the
components of what is required to deliver health care - costs such as administration, technology, prescriptions and lab tests
- he failed to mention that unmentionable key component: profit. For instance, Kaiser Permanente reported net income of $50
million in 2002 and $100 million in 2003. I'll be interested to see what that figure is in 2004. When "affordable" care becomes
substandard care, we all have a problem, and Kaiser is no exception to the new rule.
Dennis Hammond, Lakewood
Dr.
Jack Cochran
commented, "While there are some administrative costs associated with health care, the bulk of the costs are spent on
care delivery." Of course, the bulk of the cost is in the actual care, but the administrative costs are more than "some."
Americans spend $600 per capita per year more than Canadians just for the cost of administration and billing in hospitals
and doctors' offices. That's $2,400 for a family of four.
Back when non-profit Blue Cross was generally the only game in town, they paid out 94 percent of the premiums in benefits
for group and individual plans combined. Today, the bottom-line, cream-skimming insurance companies pay out, at best, 85 percent
for groups and 65 percent for individuals. I don't know Kaiser's figures, but they should be better since it's an integrated
system.
At the same time, hospitals' administrative overhead ran 8 percent 10 percent compared to 20-plus percent now.

Cool stuff in office: Dr.
Jack Cochran
's office is a lot like his life - full and interesting. The wall
across from his desk is dedicated to artwork and mementos
from his work in South America and Africa. It began in 1981 when the
plastic surgeon, who was chief resident at the University
of Wisconsin Hospitals, went to Nicaragua with a professor to provide
reconstructive surgery for the needy. He laughingly
recalls ending up in jail after taking a photo of a Russian MiG. He
found himself surrounded by a group of young Sandinista
rebels, taken into custody and interrogated for a couple of hours
before being released. They thought he was CIA. He has a
poster that asserts being a Sandinista revolutionary is good for your
health. Over the years, he went back to provide surgical services in
other South American countries, including Ecuador, where
the television news magazine 60 Minutes did a story on the doctors. A
framed shirt from the scrubs he wore on that trip hangs
on the wall. He says he never got over the thrill of the intrigue and
diversity he found in foreign lands.
Next he decided he wanted to do surgery in Africa but was told he'd have to build a hospital first. So he and a group
of doctors built the first building of Selian Lutheran Hospital in Arusha, Tanzania, in 1988. A second hospital will open
in 2007. As a reminder of his work in Africa, Cochran displays four wildlife paintings by local artist Tom Taylor, as well
as a clay pot by the artist and fabric and other artworks from Africa. He also brought back a Masai spear and a beaded stick
that was given to him by a Masai chief.
Favorite item in office: Cochran says his favorite things are family
photos, especially the photo of him with his 4-month-old
grandson, Taylor. In fact, he says he has copies of the photo
everywhere he spends time. His family, he says, is his life.
How the office reflects Cochran: The office reveals a man who revels in life, relishes a challenge and has dedicated
his talents to helping people who otherwise would not get medical treatment. He has actively sought to embrace other cultures
and peoples.
Quote: "Going (to other countries) is a very selfish act, really. I get exposed to very different and interesting places
in the world."
What Cochran keeps in his office that no one else knows about: Few people know that an empty beer bottle is a keepsake
from his trek up Mount Kilimanjaro in 1993.
