Average person uses 90% of lifetime medical costs in last 3 years of life. Average person uses 25% of lifetime medical costs in last few months of life. 5% of Medicare patients consume 50% of medical costs.
Healthcare dollar study: 5% of utilizers consume 50% of healthcare costs[/url]
As the below link shows Germany health care costs per capita are about half the United States with much better life expectancy; Emulate.
REDUCE CIRCULATORY / HEART DISEASE
Remove fat in prepared foods(salad dressings, pastries, deep fat
fried foods). Replace deep fat fryer with jet oven with microwave assist for restaurants. Replace oil in pastries and baked goods with sweet potato chips or apple chips for weight and texture. Add more niacin to flour and prepared foods. Niacin lowers bad LDL cholesterol and raises good HDL cholesterol. Circulatory disease number one killer/disabler and costs about $450 billion per year expected to double by 2020. If adding more niacin to prepared foods lowered circulatory disease by 10% it would be huge savings. Removing fat from prepared foods could save another 10%. France, Japan, and Island of Crete have almost no circulatory disease; emulate.
Cancer costs about $350 billion per year. Google telomerase cancer. Telomerase induction of cellular immortality is one thing common to all cancers. Short interfering RNA (iRNA) can block telomerase production remortalizing cancer cells which then quickly hit hayflick limit and die out eliminating cancer from body. Not just a treatment but a cure with few harmful effects! Google "telomerase cancer".
An average of 195,000 Americans died annually in 2000, 2001 and 2002 because of potentially preventable, in-hospital medical errors, according to a study of 37 million patient records conducted by HealthGrades, a healthcare quality company. Many times this number for disabling injuries causing vast increases in medical costs. Studies have shown that computerized decision support systems (diagnosis) and computerized physician order entry would reduce medical injuries in hospitals by 50%.
Each year as many as 1.5 million Americans suffer illness, injury or death because of mistakes made in prescribing, dispensing and taking prescription drugs, according to a report by the Institute of Medicine.
There have been many studies to improve patient safety but implementation seems very slow.
