The Thompson Family
Baseline healthcare system costs
This page presents the family’s baseline cost of care from the perspective of what the healthcare system is expected to spend annually.
While costs appear modest at baseline, they are often highly unpredictable, masking underlying gaps in access, coordination, and follow-up. Without consistent support—such as reliable access to food, transportation, and a clear understanding of how to navigate healthcare resources—small issues can quickly escalate into costly emergencies.
Without support, spending can rapidly shift to significant and avoidable expense.
