Reducing Health Care Costs

The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that employee health care costs for 2010 are expected to rise by up to 10 percent, with salaries expected to increase by only 1.8%. Increased premiums, co-pays and deductibles will all contribute. Study: Health-Care Rates to Rise.  

What can many people do about it? Here is my latest slogan: “Eat great food, save money and save your life.” If that one doesn’t work, there is always this one: “Every bite you eat determines how you will live and how you will die.”

Regardless of your motivation, if you eat healing, nourishing foods as described in this blog and the books that I recommend, people will be healthier and will likely decrease doctor visits and the consumption of prescription drugs, thus saving money.

People have to eat, so why not “Eat to live instead of eating to be physically and financially broke?”

If you think you can’t financially afford it, check out these three posts regarding how my family does it (and we have no regular income due to layoff): $2.38 a Meal!, Cutting Food Costs, and The $3 Chicken.

I haven’t eaten at a McDonalds in over a decade, but I am pretty darn sure I have their prices beat…and my food tastes better!
