Program:
Health Care "With a Hollywood Twist"
Looking at the rising cost of health care and what we can do about it...
*Quality - The Good
The human genome project
Identify all the approximate 30,000 genes in human DNA
*Cost -The Bad
Are we spending enough...?
We are not spending it wisely but what do we do...?
*Efficiency -The Ugly
*1st Cost Driver:
Medical procedures that Doctors believe are not necessary
*2nd Cost Driver:
Advance in:
Age
Technology
Pharmaceuticals
*Drug companies spend more $$$$ than, Budweiser, Pepsi, and McDonald's combined
on advertising.
*3rd Cost Driver:
Medicaid Cost Management and Cost Shifting
*Solutions: - Get Focused...
There are Community Based Systems which prove to be cost effective.
The rising price in health care effects each and every
one of us. Directly or indirectly. This
program just touched on the surface of a very touchy subject. If you
would like more information, please contact Steven Erkenbrack directly.
*****Preventative Health Care!!!!! Keep active, eat right and hopefully
you were blessed with some GOOD genes along the way...
See everyone at the PICNIC.
