Default Drug premiums for drug coverage to rise 31 percent in 2009

Quote:
Avalere Health LLC predicts after analyzing data from Medicare that the average premium will rise by 24 percent to $37 a month for all standalone drug plans, compared to $30 past year.
From: Premiums for drug coverage will rise up to 31 percent in 2009

How can this be? With a slowing economy, aren't goods and services supposed to get cheaper? Growing health care costs are going to sink this country's economic balance (or there lack of).

I hope whoever gets into office this next term, will focus on these issues over the next 4 years. I am seriously worried that we are going to face some really tough economic times this next year or two.

I just found out that my co pays have went up on several different medicines. It is bad enough how much we all have to pay for medical, dental, prescription coverage. On top of our premiums we have to pay deductibles and/or co pays for each visit or medication. It is unreal.

Sometimes, we don't even realize how bad everybody else has it. If our payments and benefits are tolerable we don't even worry about those who don't even have insurance. It is unbelievable the percentage of America who do not have suitable health coverage and even yet those who have it but their premiums are unrealistic.
