A new report by PwC takes a deep dive into the current state of health care in the U.S. Digital health, overseas deals, high prices, consumer trends and business strategies for health organizations are some of the things the report examines in depth.

The PwC report is based on a survey of 3,500 American consumers, 300 provider executives, 100 payer executives and 100 executives from pharmaceutical and life sciences companies. PwC's Health Research Institute also interviewed thought leaders working at top organizations in the industry, the report said.

Digital health and DIY consumerism

Two of the topics explored by the report have to do with the explosion of digital technologies in health and how that is changing the way consumers experience health care in this country.
