A Snapshot of Some of the Problems
• Quality of Care
• U.S. residents receive about 50% of care that is recommended.1 Is this good? Acceptable?
• Individual Expenditures
• By 2025, average family premium will EQUAL median income.2
• This means 50% of Americans will spend EVERY dollar they make on health insurance policy.
