The rising cost of health care is a pressing concern for 85% of American adults over the age of 18, according to a poll by the American Society for Quality/Harris Interactive.
Higher deductibles are becoming the norm, co-pays are rising, and the cost of medication is skyrocketing.
Medical costs are just the tip of the iceberg, lurking below the surface is a vast array of uncovered expenses like lost wages, child care and transportation. No wonder people are worried – the threat of unmanageable costs is increasing, with no clear solution in sight.
