HealthCare Bills

Hey SBU DPT Bloggers,

So much is spoken today of the cost of healthcare and with the upcoming Presidential election, much more political banter and rhetoric will hit the headlines and Internet websites. It seems Americans, prefer their politics in chunks of four. Every four years they tolerate the hysteria. Every four years they tolerate the hype. Every four years they listen to a new slate of politicians willing to make promises to change your life for the better. For us, in the healthcare profession, we are doubly concerned. Both our individual health plan and our profession may be impacted by a Presidential candidate's vision of the future. As our society ages, we are concerned about things like wellness, cost of services, and access to skilled and competent providers. Do you know where the candidates McCain (R) and Obama (D) stand on healthcare. How will it impact your health plan? How will it impact your wellness? How will it impact your livelihood?

I came across an interesting article about how the extreme cost of healthcare today and the massive gaps in the health insurance coverage can leave you in tremendous debt. Take a look at this CNN.com article by Elizabeth Cohen "Five mistakes that will land you in medical debt." Are you prepared?

Together with you in His service,
