Health Care Spending To Double in 10 Years

Health Care Spending is expected to double in 10 years according to an article in Yahoo news. Article Link.
This will be right about the time that the bulk of the baby boomer generation is full into medicare. Since I was born right at the very tail end of that generation, I won't have made it yet. Actually by the time I slide into medicare age another decade later, medicare may have some of the pain eased because the older baby boomers will have passed on. I expect that we will have a big problem in about 10 years, and it will probably last for about 10 years.

Most of the health care spending issue will be on prescription drugs. More agressive treaments, and more medicinces will be available at the pharmacy. The good news is, many more diseases will be controlled by pills, and more people can survivie and live comfortable lives. This is Good! The bad news is that it's going to cost.

If you're concerned about rising health care costs, and you are one of the 47 million Americans without health insurance, it really is time to consider a plan to protect you from a castastrophe. The health care cost situation is not expected to improve! A high deductible, catastrophic plan may not take that big of a bite out of your budget, and it will give you peace of mind and could prevent a tragedy that doesn't have to be!

I've posted before about ways to keep health insurance affordable, and you can search through this blog to find the articles. My point is, if you've been quoted a health insurance plan before that's just more than you can afford, please consider looking again, armed with some knowldedge!

Senator Clinton Weighs In On Health Insurance and Breast Cancer

FROM THE YAHOO BLOG....

Until we have a cure, our best defense against breast cancer is early detection. With access to proper screening exams, we can diagnose breast cancer at its earliest stages, when it's easiest to treat. Unfortunately, too many women in our country are uninsured and underinsured, and don't have access to important preventive care. As part of our efforts against breast cancer, I support efforts to expand access to quality health insurance, through programs like those that allow uninsured individuals to buy into existing health insurance programs, or those that make it easier for small businesses to offer a comprehensive health benefit to their employees.

John Edwards and Health Care Reform. Health Insurance for All Again!

John Edwards, another democratic candidate, is calling for health care reform! Yeah, let the games begin. Maybe this time the rhetoric will actually turn into action. He wants to get rid of Bush's tax cuts for people who make over $200,000. Since I don't make over $200,000, I have no problem with this. :)

John Edwards wants to raise some taxes and cut loopholes for the wealthy to help pay for health care and health insurance reform article on Yahoo.

I do have a problem with the fact that 47 million Americans are uninsured. If you don't have a problem with this fact, then you should check out Bush's plan. Even he says that Americans who receive health insurance through work, because of tax breaks that companies get to provide it, don't have any idea of how much it costs. I have to agree. If everybody understood how much health insurance really costs then people would be taking to the streets!

Right now, only self employed people, contractors, etc. who provide their own health insurance - or the 47 million uninsured seem to grasp the price. Maybe others do, and they don't start their own businesses and are held hostages to corporate America because of ... ta da....health insurance.

It's time to address the issue.
