When I hear that a company like Revolution Health is partnering with a company like Medco, it is almost as good as one step back towards the promotion of health. Medco is a distributor of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of disease. That is their mission; that is how they are rewarded. Medco will only promote health as long as it does not diminish their ability to distribute medications. The same is true for pretty much all medical care providers. Until the major financial incentives are aligned with health promotion, the “health” care system, which is really the medical care system, will stay focused on disease. That is their bread and butter. To me, this means that as long as medical care professionals are the key leaders, true change will be very very slow.
