Introduction to the New Health Economy: The 7 Emerging Trends

“We are limited by our own perceptions;

none can believe what they have not perceived.”

(William Blake, paraphrased)

Impact Health is not only offering a new perspective, we are also offering a way out.

This new perspective is about what is happening, what is coming, and how to navigate the MASSIVE CHANGES that are taking place in about 20% of the American Economy. (Yes, there are other changes taking place in other areas of the American Economy as well. However, we’ve decided to only tackle 1/5 of the American Economy at this point.)

Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix of Modern Medicine is…you have to experience it and see it for yourself. You are probably very aware of the problems with the Matrix of Modern Medicine.

First, the Matrix of Modern Medicine is real and, second, it wants to direct and manage your behavior to the point of minimizing your control, respect, prestige, income, and your ability to help people (if you are even really able to help people).

Whether you fully realize it or not, the following are all part of the Matrix of Modern Medicine:

The Hospital Systems
The Insurance Companies (Health and Life)
Pharmaceutical Companies
Device Companies
Medical and Nursing Schools
Certification and Licensing Boards
American Medical Association (AMA)
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
Politicians
Captured Scientists
Crony Capitalists
Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs)
And, unfortunately, many health professionals and Doctors

When you look close enough, you’ll begin to realize that the New Health Economy has been developing for years. Until recently, no one has been able to define or put structure to it. But it is here now.

As stated in the previous post, the New Health Economy looks like this:

A true, free market, where no one controls the “system”
Individuals, as “owners,” make their own decisions (patients and professionals)
Health Professionals must think of themselves first (“patients over profits” is a false rallying cry)
A developing ecosystem where health professionals do not have to feel like Lone Rangers
It is outside the “system” (the system = Matrix of Modern Medicine)
It is NOT “alternative medicine.”
Yes, it is a real alternative to the Matrix of Modern Medicine
It is not “sick care.”
It is about helping the body heal itself

Whether you are ready or not, the New Health Economy is upon us and the Old Medical Economy – or Matrix of Modern Medicine – is collapsing before our very eyes. You just have to know where to look.

Whether you are prepared or not, this great transformation from the Gilded Age of Medicine to the Golden Age of Health is here.

Welcome to the New Health Economy.
