			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In these days of billions this and trillions that, I propose that health care reform could be greatly advanced over the next six months to save tens of billions of dollars, if the nation were collectively to lose weight to the tune of 3 billion pounds.</p>
<p><span id="more-994"></span></p>
<p><strong>Lose 16.7 Pounds Per American Adult</strong></p>
<p>Assuming there are 180 million adults in America, if a total of 3 billion pounds were shed, that would amount to 16.66 pounds lost per adult. There's no reason it couldn't be done over the next six months - 2.8 pounds per month per adult. This would have the effect of reducing heart disease and other conditions, including diabetes, yielding a cost savings for health care of tens of billions of dollars. Among other things, it would reduce insurance premiums, outlays for Medicare, lost productivity and much, much more.</p>
<p>I know it's an insane idea. But, it's no more insane than the inaction on health care reform we've endured for decades.</p>
<p>President Obama - lead the way!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time for Medicare Enrollment grows short. Each year you are required to make a choice for supplemental coverage. Those choices are terribly varied, and it requires a good deal of scrutiny to determine which one is best suited to your situation.<span id="more-745"></span></p>
<p><strong>Medicare Enrollment Window Is Now</strong></p>
<p>Navigating the myriad of choices in the Medicare program can be a daunting task for seniors today.  Especially considering the changes to the program that have been enacted by Congress.  Depending on your personal experiences, you may consider Medicare a blessing or a curse.</p>
<p>As the Medicare plans and options changed just a few years ago, so did the coverage levels that were offered and this left many scrambling trying to read through the paperwork and make decisions based on their personal needs.  For many elderly people this was, to say the least a near impossible task, and once those choices were made, that was it, and they were locked into those choices.  </p>
<p>Although many may not be aware, the yearly enrollment window is from November 15th to December 31st each year.  Your window of opportunity to make changes to your Medicare plan is closing soon.  Whether you make changes or you don't, you will be locked in to those choices for another year.</p>
<p>This yearly enrollment period is important because it is the time for you to assess your current coverage.  If there are better options that you or your friends have discovered, then making changes is important.  By now most of you have had time to assess how the Medicare experience is serving your needs.</p>
<p>The intent of the Medicare program is to serve the needs of the senior population.  Considering that many people have constantly changing healthcare issues, the program's yearly enrollment period is important to address.  The time to make changes is now.  Even if you've been happy with your coverage, you will be well served to revisit your program coverage to assure you're getting the best care you need.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It's no secret that the future of health care for baby boomers is slated for profound change in the coming years. Exactly what shape those changes will take is not entirely known, but there are predictable trends dictated by current estimates of future deliverability.</p>
<p>An examination of anticipated diminishing numbers of available doctors, nurses and other health care professionals tells the story. The predicted outcome is sobering and suggests that all of us should plan to take greater individual responsibility for maintaining our health. In the following article ways are suggested to accomplish just that.<span id="more-10"></span></p>
<p><strong>Future of Baby Boomer Health Care</strong><br />
By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=John_Knab">John Knab</a></p>
<p>A recent study shows that the aging of baby boomers will do more than merely increase the number of patients - it also will reduce the number of doctors and nurses available to care for them.</p>
<p>Nearly 13% of registered nurses in the U.S. will reach retirement age in five years, says a report by the Center for Health Workforce Studies at the State University of New York [SUNY] at Albany. Almost 44% will turn 65 by 2020.</p>
<p>Half of the country's advanced practice nurses - those with enough training to prescribe drugs, work as anesthetists and deliver babies - will reach retirement age within 15 years. Despite an increase in newly licensed advance practice nurses, supply won't meet demand.</p>
<p>Faced with these trends, the government, health insurers and businesses are testing out possible solutions in a range of areas: electronic medical record systems, new monitoring devices for the home and medical practice redesign.</p>
<p>Health insurance giant Kaiser Permanente recently launched a program that aims to teach its 12,000 doctors how to use an electronic medical records system to streamline their practices.</p>
<p>While the price of these electronic systems is coming down for doctors in small practices, the federal government also is helping.</p>
<p>The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services [CMS] is funding a program that uses contractors nationwide to help 4,000 doctors set up electronic medical records and practice more efficiently.</p>
<p>Aging boomers will bring more cases of chronic illness - a potential growth market when you consider the shortage of medical help.</p>
<p>Just as baby boomers are aging and starting to consume a disproportionate share of health services, many doctors and nurses themselves are boomers and are retiring and working fewer hours!</p>
<p>Doctors are more likely to be 55, or older than the U.S. work force as a whole. And older doctors work fewer hours than younger ones. About 30% of doctors are over 54 today, vs. 14% of the overall work force.</p>
<p>It takes a long time to educate and train a physician. So you're not going to see a lot of younger physicians turning up. Physicians are generally older than average. Half of physicians are 45 and older; in the civilian labor force, only 37% are over 45. In addition, the number of new geriatricians is declining.</p>
<p>What are you to do. Try “Alternative Health Care”. That’s when you as an individual take a greater role and interest in your health. Thus, eliminating the expensive cost of health care, time needed to see a doctor and the overall problem of even getting sick.</p>
<p>You’ve heard it before…An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Take control of your health today. The health &amp; wellness industry is expected to be a “Trillion Dollar Industry” by 2010. Supplementation and fitness are key to disease prevention and maintaining your best health today.
