Opportunities and Strategies ProAssurance is Evolving to Anticipate the Risks Facing an Increasingly Complex healthcare Delivery System

 
 

Healthcare Realities American healthcare is wrestling with the question of cost vs. care — we can deliver more care than we can afford Restructuring is producing profound changes in healthcare Healthcare delivery is being pushed down to lower cost providers The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is creating additional layers of complexity Healthcare delivery will be in continuous flux for years to come How will the addition of millions of insureds affect Medical Professional Liability? Patient frustration and unexpected outcomes Will additional coverage under the ACA help or hurt Worker’s Compensation writers? Will the healthcare burden shift 26

 
 

Insurance Marketplace Realities 27 Insurance companies are awash in capital Pressure is mounting to “do something” with it M&A — the hunter vs. the hunted Chase market share with low prices but disastrous long - term consequences Appease investors with unwise capital - return strategies
