The United States, as well as both developed and underdeveloped countries around
the world, grapple with escalating healthcare costs. The number of healthcare
consumers is increasing worldwide, and while most of such an increase tilts the
demographic curve toward younger age groups, older age cohorts are also
increasing. These older age cohorts are particularly noticeable in developed
countries where useful scientific progress has evolved substantial and extensive
healthcare technologies. Access to such expensive technologies has both been
widely sought and become available to healthcare consumers. This book offers
prescient insights upon various ways to diminish healthcare expenses.
