Living Beyond Our Means

Lets face it most Americans love to live comfortably and will do what it takes to attain this level of comfort whether it means barrowing on the house, purchasing it with plastic, or simply doing whatever it takes to have what they want. If it’s the latest gadget or trend I’m sure most will go out of their way to get it. So the same mentality is set in place when we need medical coverage. If you want or need it bad enough you must do whatever it takes to get it, right? Well unfortunately medical coverage is a lot more costly than the latest gadget or trend. It leaves us with big dents in our pockets. So, different standards have to be in place for attaining quality medical coverage in the U.S. such as smoothing out the kinks in all the administrative work, regulating how much pay will go towards specific procedures, and above all giving consumers the buying power they deserve when it comes to receiving quality medical coverage. In these tough economic times, hopefully our administration will see the cracks in the system (as promised will go through the book with a finetooth comb) and work towards improving our health spending per capita so that future generations do not have to work to pay our big deficit we have created.
