Cost of Health Care – Why is it so high?
The high cost of health INSURANCE can be directly tied to the high cost of health CARE. Why does the care cost so much? That is the million dollar question. There are many reasons for the high cost of care. I will outline one that we all forget here. TECHNOLOGY. We all want it when we are sick or hurt.
Decades ago we had X-Rays, yes old fashioned X-rays. Today, we have MRI’s, CAT Scans etc. When we are sick or hurt, we want the latest imaging technology to be employed to diagnose our issue or pain.
Decades ago, we had aspirin. Today we have all kinds of pain killers, cholesterol lowering drugs, mood altering drugs etc. I could go on and on.
Would you like to purchase a health insurance policy that does not cover those fabulous things? When we pay the premium yes. When we need care, no way.
