NOAA Forecast: BP Oil Spill to reach Key West by June 4

Our federal Medicare program and increasing costs of health care are converging towards a major crisis that is eroding our economic future. I fell on the convergence Although research on health insurance, our "public choice" for the elderly. The problem with knowledge is that you can not replace. Ignorance was happiness.

The federal financial crisis is too urgent for ignorance prevails. It could cost you your job, your company, your retirement future of their children and the economic health of our country. Our political leaders have masked the growing crisis of us with false accounting and unrealistic projections.

Since 1965, Medicare began the federal government to pay for health care for all eligible citizens 65 years and more. The obligation without adequate financial resources to cover the cost — not even close. The underfunding of Medicare increased by 34 billion dollars to 36.2 trillion dollars for the year 2008.

Health spending is rising due to higher prices and increased the amount we use. The wave of aging Baby Boomers increase spending on health care. health spending is 6% more every year, twice our national average growth rate. If we buy health as user fees, so our price is $ 700 + per person per month.

Our government is spiraling greater deficit resulted in the annual health costs resulting from debt and a larger increase in interest charges. Our government needs 62.1 trillion dollars U.S. cash to meet their obligations. More than half the government budget deficit in Medicare. If we sold the country today the world, everything (houses, farms, businesses, city council, tanks, etc.), we would still be about 10 billion U.S. dollars short of paying invoice.

How much money the government to try to escape the impression of carrying guns? How interest rate higher required to download the U.S. Treasury to finance our debt has increased? How much inflation, taxes higher interest costs and paralyzing it takes to break the strong U.S. economy and send us into serious depression?

Ignorance is no excuse now. We will be governed by the convergence of government commitments irresponsible and control costs of care health unless we take control and change the path of our country. The first step in solving any problem is to know that you have a problem. He has now taken the first step.
