not like your "options"..., all that much...
Even after the Medical debate and law changes...
the MOST expensive part of medical care for U.S. is "Senior" care...
Medicare, Medicaid, and now drugs...
the most expensive part of Senior care...
are/is "end of life costs"...
from home health care that is not generally available...
to nursing home care that is, and very expensive...
to the costs of [y]our "LAST" hospital visit.
What this is telling U.S. is that with all the unemployment...
all the stock market losses...
all the home equity losses...
the COST of medical care STILL increased faster than inflation.
