As one of my areas of interest is the non-commoditization of healthcare (I am an unabashed capitalist), what struck me initially is that there is another way of "slicing" the market: Commoditized healthcare vs. value added healthcare (each of which involves both diagnostic and procedural aspects). The distinction may not lie in the nature of the disease, but rather may lie in the interface between patient and provider. Mark Ken,

The real savings of the Patient-Centered Medical Home will be better chronic illness care coordination resulting in fewer hospitalizations and ER visits. For example, a good heart failure program can reduce readmissions by more than 50% Better control of diabetes reduces the number getting very expensive complications like renal failure, amputations, heart attacks and strokes. The big money in health care goes to hospitals and the rate of admissions for patients with chronic illness can be reduced. Great Blog Ken.
