Much of
the focus at election
time is geared toward the economy and other domestic issues.
Most often, talk revolves around tax cuts and social security,
but there is an increasing demand for health care
reform.
While state and federal governments work toward easing the
crisis a little at a time, there is likely to be a strong demand for
immediate action to be taken as the baby boomer generation requires
additional health care and finds proper coverage lacking in our
society.
Whether or not you have health insurance can rely heavily
on what your employer has to pay for coverage. Some opt not to
offer coverage at all, due to rising premiums – a result of
increased malpractice insurance and uninsured absorption costs.
When the job market is rocky, health coverage is hard to
come by. Employers have more applicants than they know what to
do with – and many of them are willing to work without having to
entice them with added benefits such as insurance.
