Carelessness or Health Care?

What is our state of mind in reforming health care today?  Crazy first comes to my mind in how we address the symptoms instead of the problem of today’s health crisis.  Health carelessness and mismanagement can be corrected only if we fully embrace wellness, prevention and wise care. Presently our economy totals 15 trillion dollars.  U.S. total healthcare expenditure is $2.7 trillion or 18 percent of GDP.  It is forecasted to reach 34 percent of GDP by 2040.  In 2010 Americans spent $1.3 trillion on health care. Multiple chronic illness cases that make of just one percent of care consume 21 percent of this total amount.  While the last 50 percent of patients account for the 2.8 percent of spending last year.  Contrary to popular opinion only 10 percent of health care dollars are spent in the last year of life.  While increased money is spent in last few months approaching death it is not the massive percentage of medical care dollars that is widespread believed. http://www.governi

Time to Change Our Climate

Increasingly new scientific findings suggest that humans are impacting our planet. However, our ability to best manage the stress of these studies is becoming a huge psychic burden.   Compound this with the increasingly polarization of American politics and it safe to assume things are heating up on many fronts.   People’s passions, fears, despairs and frustrations are running high.   While  change is needed, increased fearful delay increases both the temperature and tensions. What can you as an individual do?  Cool down and become part of the solution not add fuel to this fire . Since our very foundation of freedom is directly dependent on responsible citizen action profiting from preventing further harm is paramount. How can we stimulate public support when our current economic system does not adequately reward such endeavors?  Public demand and bipartisan support are fundamental to bettering our climate with a new awareness, ingenuity!
