ingThe main idea of this article is that the Insurance companies have had to deal with the rising cost of health insurance for a while and can no longer handle the expense of it so they must pass this increase onto the consumers.

Chemotherapy, laser vision correction, and cholesterol medications are just a few of these important advances.The medical community has eliminated a great amount of waste in the system but this still will not curb all of the additional costs. Someone has to pay the price.Companies are trying new ways to reduce the costs of medications for people who need pharmaceuticals and could be hampered by the rising costs of drugs through their insurance program.The article explains some of the good and bad about our health care delivery system.

The services and medications give us a better quality of life, therefore, we as consumers, will pay for it.Consumer/Centric- Consumer driven, focused, and based.
