"With options on every
corner, the threshold for seeking care is lower, drawing in people who
may have forgone care in the past, it's so convenient. But convenience
comes at a cost - instead of the big deductible being a barrier to care,
the convenience is cheap enough to be able to put the money out of your
own pocket especially for young people."

Making care more convenient for consumers has
led to higher use of services, with 40 percent of consumers expected to
seek care from a retail clinic in 2016 and 88 percent of consumers
saying they are likely to seek treatment there in the future, according
to the report. Spending on doctor’s office visits has fallen 17 percent
over the past 10 years, while expenditures for outpatient clinics are up
19 percent, the report found.
