Affordable health care and insurance is a big worry for today's Americans, with the new Medicare bill being of particular concern if you are over fifty. Shop around for an affordable medicare insurance quote. AARP medicare supplemental insurance could offer just such medicare coverage. A recent survey* shows that healthcare costs and affordable insurance are the third biggest concern for Americans, behind Iraq and general economic issues. While George Bush's Jan 5th speech pinpointed medical tort reform as the most important healthcare reform this year, the survey, organized by Harvard School of Public Health, said otherwise:
- 63 % of Americans polled wanted lowering the costs of healthcare and insurance to be the top priority of the president and Congress;
- 58% wanted them to make Medicare more financially sound for the future;
- 57% also wanted to see an increase in the number of Americans with health insurance.
It looks certain that the serious gaps in healthcare and medicare coverage nationwide are not going to go away in a hurry.
