'New Book Tackles Health Care Costs.
Fred Brock Offers Strategies To Defray Rising Medical Costs.
Uninsured people file for bankruptcy every year because they cannot pay their medical bills. Others cannot afford the high cost of prescription medicine or simply can't get health insurance. Yet in 2004, the 13 largest drug companies netted profits of $62 billion, and U.S. hospitals posted $26.3 billion in profits. While 46 million Americans — including 8 million children — go without health insurance, the top 12 HMO executives earned $222.6 million this year. "It's not just people without health insurance that's the problem," author Fred Brock told The Early Show co-anchor Rene Syler. "It's people who work for companies that are tired of footing the bills and are putting it off on employees." Brock believes the biggest threat to your financial future may be the rising cost of health care and an inability to pay for it. He offers suggestions about how to deal with the health care crisis in his book, "Health Care on Less than You Think." Brock says the two main problems are that the U.S. health care system is expensive and Americans don't get enough for their money and that people who have pre-existing conditions and don't have health insurance through work have a difficult time getting insured. Brock believes our health care system is on a collision course until the government fixes it, and that won't happen for at least 10 years. In the meantime, he offered some strategies to make staying healthy cheaper.'
