About Three Quarters of Health Care Spending...

Is now on people with chronic conditions. Our health care delivery systems are becoming being more and more complicated. Dual enrollees (Medicare and Medicaid) with Medicare Part D are struggling to receive the medications that they need to take care of very serious and chronic illnesses. Some states have stepped in to make sure consumers are receiving the medications that are vital to them.

What can we do? As individuals it seems like we have little control over these bigger systems. We can make changes in our lifestyles. We can educate ourselves on prevention and taking care of ourselves. We can stay healthy, eat right, exercise our bodies and our minds, learn stress coping skills, and stress reduction skills. There will be less need for health care systems in your life.
