Recession Proof Your Family’s Health
How you can save on health care in a declining economy
Would you like to dramatically lower your family's health care costs?
- 85% Lower pharmaceutical costs
- 62% Fewer outpatient surgical cases
- 60% Fewer hospitalizations
These are incredible numbers published in the May 2007 edition of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. This study, lead by Richard Sarnat, MD, evaluated health plans that utilize chiropractors and other “alternative” practitioners serving as primary care providers, and found that these providers- primarily chiropractors- saved patients and health plans significant amounts of money. (The results are listed above.) Furthermore, the study also showed that patients reported higher levels of satisfaction with chiropractors and other alternative providers when compared to their MDs.
The U.S. has the most extensive health care system in the world, according to health education researcher Keith Wassung, and Americans pay more for health care than citizens of any other country. Health care has become increasingly unaffordable for many people, and our health overall continues to decline. One look at the headlines tells the story: incidence of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, psychological and behavioral problems and obesity are more of a concern now than they ever were! Adding to this, the major economic downturn we are experiencing leaves many households with even fewer dollars to go around.
What does this all mean for you and your family? As Gerald Celente from the Trends Research Institute states in his December 2008 article, “Is America Going Broke,” one of the trends to look for is people turning to “practitioners of the healing arts- such as chiropractors, naturopaths and anyone who can teach people how to get and stay healthy.”
"With 47 million Americans uninsured and health care costs still rising... look for Americans to start taking much more responsibility for their own health and attaining health benefits through the integration of diverse therapies [chiropractors, etc] and better lifestyle choices."
Here is the bottom line: Disease, illness and the consequences of not proactively taking care of your health are costly. Waiting until you have health problems and then going to the doctor for the latest prescription or procedure (sick care) has become a huge financial burden on families in this country. Conversely, preventing & reversing disease and achieving optimal health and wellness through chiropractic, diet, nutrition and making better lifestyle choices (wellness care) actually SAVES your family money.
The study above is a great example, but it is not the only one- when comparing health plans that had limited or no chiropractic coverage to those that had broader coverage, researchers found that health plans that had broader coverage for chiropractic resulted in dramatically lower health care costs, according to Chiropractic Wellness & Fitness Magazine.
