Healthcare and health care facts are some of the hottest topics in the US today. It is important for your and my company, and for every individual to be aware of them. With everyone talking about it from political pundits to coffee shop patrons, it’s hard not to glean some info or opinion about it. Unfortunately, personal stories seem to trump facts and numbers when it comes to healthcare discussions, which leaves many of us wondering what the real costs of a healthy nation are.
