Kansas and Oklahoma have returned U.S.federal grants that were intended to be used to start a trial run for Obamacare.This appears to be a wise move, considering the shaky U.S.financial condition.Some Americans have long admired the so-called single-payer healthcare systems prevalent in Europe and some other countries.Now, it seems that these systems are as unsustainable as the U.S.Social Security arrangement -- and for much the same reason: Too many people collecting benefits (from the huge Baby Boomer generation), and too few workers now paying into the systems.
To further complicate matters, I saw that Medicare will be reducing reimbursements to doctors by more than ten percent.This will only speed the rush of doctors into retirement and other sources of employment.
A survey taken during the fight over Obamacare indicated that, if it became law, about 40 percent of doctors were planning to leave the profession.
This brings me to the subject I think you should consider when planning your health future: Are you taking care of your health now, so that you will not need expensive and possibly hard-to-get medical services later in life? From what I've seen and read, I don't believe our health is simply the result of a cosmic crapshoot, where some of us are destined genetically to have mysterious medical ailments that couldn't have been prevented.That may be true in a small minority of cases, but not for the majority (who seem to find comfort in believing it anyway).
