U.S. Healthcare Crash: your survival kit
Robert Paul Bacher
- FACT:
- In
- 1950,
- the
- U.S.
- life
- expectancy
- was
- fifth-best
- in
- the
- world
- but
- ranks
- 42nd
- today.
FACT:
- We
- are
- sicker
- than
- we
- were
- 30
- years
- ago
- as
- all
- chronic
- diseases
- and
- cancers
- are
- increasing
- vs.
- decreasing.
FACT:
- Over
- 400,000
- Americans
- are
- actually
- killed
- by
- our
- health
- care
- system
- every
- year.
FACT:
- The
- average
- family
- of
- four
- pays
- over
- $18,000/year
- for
- health
- coverage
- and
- this
- figure
- will
- double
- in
- 10
- years.
The
- U.S.
- health
- care
- system
- is
- a
- “sick
- care”
- focused
- dysfunctional
- and
- failing
- industry.
- Our
- medical
- approach
- of
- treating
- the
- symptoms
- versus
- the
- cause
- of
- disease
- is
- a
- fatal
- flaw
- in
- the
- system.
- Our
- total
- annual
- costs
- are
- three
- times
- higher
- than
- most
- developed
- countries
- in
- the
- world
- at
- $3.4
- trillion.
- These
- future
- costs
- are
- unsustainable
- for
- our
- country,
- businesses,
- and
- for
- us.
Fortunately,
- there’s
- this
- fact:
- all
- chronic
- diseases
- are
- caused
- by
- lifestyle
- changes
- and
- are
- preventable.
- Solutions
- exist
- for
- you
- to
- lower
- costs,
- improve
- health,
- and
- increase
- lifespan.
- The
- first
- step
- is
- recognizing
- you
- are
- responsible
- and
- accountable
- for
- your
- own
- health.
- The
- next
- step
- is
- changing
- your
- lifestyle.
- This
- book
- will
- give
- you
- the
- knowledge,
- will
- and
- skill
- to
- do
- this
- in
- a
- doable
- and
- inexpensive
- way
- and
- help
- you
- live
- a
- longer,
- healthier
- life.
- Cheers
- to
- your health.
