A nearly twofold increase in projected government spending on health care is partly attributable to the ever increasing costs of new drugs, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The government forecasts it will pay out more than $2 trillion of the $4.3 trillion that the U.S. will spend on health care in 2017. Both estimates are almost double the 2007 costs, the Journal says.
The high costs of new drugs and medical technology will contribute to a near doubling on Medicare spending, which in 2017 is projected at $844 billion, according to the late February story.
To help cut costs, especially during this election year, it might be a good idea to further encourage the present and future leaders of the U.S. government to more fully embrace nutritional supplements.
After all, the high costs of traditional medical services have already helped convince nearly 50% of Americans to use vitamins, herbs or minerals, according a story from The Motley Fool’s Web site.
Enzyme-based nutritional supplements are affordably priced and offer effective support for several conditions, as well as provide a great option for preventive care. Unlike some pharmaceuticals, enzymes are safe from dangerous side effects, the treatment of which could likely further contribute to skyrocketing health care costs.
