Yes, health insurance rates are higher right now, but no one seems to really understand why.<\/p>\n
Health insurance rates mainly go up for one reason and that reason is that people do not take care of themselves. It is that simple and that complicated at the same time. “If people don’t take responsibility for their own health and instead foist that task on an already overburdened health care system, it’s no wonder health care rates are atrocious,” explained Evan Tunis of Florida Healthcare Insurance.<\/p>\n
Being human, the human condition gives rise to smoking, over-eating, over-indulging in prescription or illegal drugs, avoiding gyms and work outs like the plague, and aging. Of course the last one, aging, we really are unable to do too much about, except vigorously pursue preventive health care. “Check out the national statistics for the rate of obesity in America,” suggested Tunis. It will astonish even the most hard-nosed individual.<\/p>\n
