jmohr@zelostherapeutics.com About the SurveyIn recent years, the role that consumers play in the US health care system has become a prominent theme as employer- and government-sponsored insurance programs promote consumerism and policymakers focus attention on healthier lifestyles and more prudent use of the system. This research study by the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, part of Deloitte LLP, provides an important and timely perspective on health care consumerism. It features a comprehensive assessment of consumers’ behaviors, attitudes and unmet needs related to health, health care and health insurance. It also points to six discrete segments of the overall consumer market, providing a profile of their key characteristics and differences.
