Baumol, a professor of economics and academic    director of the Berkley Center for Entrepreneurship and    Innovation, New York University, and professor emeritus,    Princeton University, has written a book delving into the    question Why Computers Get Cheaper and Health Care Doesnt.  <\/p>\n<p>    Its a topic that plagues consumers, as each year brings a new    level in increase in the costs of health care, while things    like the prices of computers are not rising, yet, nor are    salaries or Medicare coverage.  <\/p>\n<p>    Baumol, author of more than forty books and recipient of    numerous awards, explains it like this: Its the Cost Disease.  <\/p>\n<p>    And that once the public understands the parameters of this    disease and how it effects the rising costs of the service    sectors of the economy, then appropriate and effective    responses can be made to the problem thats causing widespread    alarm across the country.  <\/p>\n<p>    HealthCompare, a nationally recognized health insurance    comparison site, is aware of the ever-compounding increases    that health care is placing on the population and wants    consumers to be as educated as possible when making decisions    that could affect their health care.  <\/p>\n<p>    Knowing what a patients limits are when it comes to what    doctors he is willing to see and which ones he is and knowing    his medical history intently and the history of his family, and    how much he is honestly able to afford, the patient can better    make health care decisions that could help him find policies    that are more suitable for his budget, without losing its    effectiveness.  <\/p>\n<p>    Its this kind of research and adjustment that will help health    insurance consumers become more adaptable to the Cost Disease    and Dr. Baumols ideals that service related industries require    more and more people to manage and run the industry, in    opposition to the idea that technology requires fewer people    and less moving parts, so the costs can stay down.  <\/p>\n<p>    Health Insurance shoppers are encouraged to visit HealthCompare.com to make    comparisons that could help them in buying individual health    insurance and lower their costs in an industry affected by    the Cost Disease.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Continued here: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/2012\/10\/prweb9988759.htm\" title=\"HealthCompare Attempts to Help Health Insurance Consumers Counter the &#34;Cost Disease&#34;\">HealthCompare Attempts to Help Health Insurance Consumers Counter the &#34;Cost Disease&#34;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Orange, California (PRWEB) October 12, 2012 Yale University Press releases a new book on health care exploring The Cost Disease.
