Deductibles under employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) and Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans have risen, and out-of-pocket maximums are higher than a year ago. Because of these changes, U.S. hospital admissions, surgical volumes and hospital visits all improved in the third quarter. Goldman Sachs estimates that 3Q hospital visits will rise 4% year over year. Seasonal factors should also lift healthcare utilization in the second half above the first half. Fourth-quarter earnings are expected to be solid, and this strength could carry into next year.
