Health care costs and insurance rates are increasing at double digit rates, averaging over 10 per cent a year. Forty-five million Americans are uninsured and those with coverage are paying larger deductibles and co-payments. Physician's offices are being squeezed by increasing overhead and malpractice insurance costs. Hospital emergency departments have a high number of nonpaying patients. These pressures are requiring health care providers to practice more efficiently. This is changing the delivery of our health care. The Physician / Hospital...

They compliment, but do not...
Take Action
Electronic Medical Records are not the solution for personal responsibility. Everyone should take an evening and write on a piece of paper their own preventive health care plan and then follow it. No one cares about your health more than yourself. You are not helping your family or the health care crisis if you are neglecting your health.
