I don’t know if you’ve noticed but as we move into 2008 there’s a glut of papers, reports and predictions about what is going to happen in health care.

Anyway, I’ve taken the time to look through some of these pronouncements. Many are rehashes of the what I would call “more of the same” prognostications, others find us at various tipping points — unsustainability being a key concept here — in health care and forecast some, often vague, deep changes to come. Below are some of the bits and pieces of these various offerings of the future that caught my eye.
