America Is currently in a health crisis.
In the last 30 years the data from the National Obesity Monitor shows that we now have over 42% of all adults and over 20% of all kids under 18 living obese.
In fact, the obesity rates have doubled over the last 30 years.
This epidemic is also putting intense stress on all companies but especially the mid-sized employer.
Warren Buffet has said, “Medical costs are the tapeworm of American economic competitiveness”.
The cost to ensure an employee and family has increased over 255% in the last 30 years.
How can businesses and employees maintain these exponential increases?
We believe that employees are ready for a change and ready for more control of how they can improve their health and not just manage chronic conditions.
Through Pursuit Health, ICHRA, PEO and health savings accounts, employers and employees are taking advantage of new options.
These accounts start with redefining what medicine is. Our current healthcare spend is nearly 100% targeted towards situations where people are already sick.
If you want to be proactive and purchase healthy foods, gym memberships, supplements and preventative care you can now use your health accounts – HSA, FSA, HRA
This change in the payment infrastructure will enable a 30%+ savings for many consumers.
Here are a few examples:
- Healthy food becoming 30% less expensive.
- Save over $2,000 when buying a sauna
- Memberships at Lifetime Fitness or home gym equipment are $100s of dollars a month less when paying with your health accounts.
When checking out at their growing number of retail partners all you must do is select pay with TrueMed.
You may be thinking, saving a couple dollars doesn’t fix a national healthcare crisis.
You are right, it will take many changes.
At Pursuit Health, we believe that when employees are given control, change behavior, and save money they become an active participant in their health journey.
The incentives are the early dominos that need to fall for needed systematic improvement and we are helping employees take those actions.
