Emerging trends in health care finance.

Access to capital will become more difficult. Capital access is dependent on ability to repay debt, which, in turn, is dependent on internally generated cash flows. Under any health care reform proposal, revenue inflows will be slowed.

These changes will result in greater balance sheet management, centralized capital allocation, and alternative sources of capital.
