Jack Cioffi presented alarming data on the cost of health care in the
US. At current rates, the health care costs will exceed per capita
income.
2006 (United States: USD): USD 829/month average family Health Care premium
USD 308/month average single Health Care premium
By 2016 at current rates: Health Care premiums will exceed per capita income
Inequities and future challenges: Drugs cost the least for insured patients;
Federal and State Governments provide pretax subsidies for middle and
upper income; The uninsured population is growing; An aging population means more glaucoma patients.
