Proactive versus Reactive Healthcare

There is no denying that the cost of health insurance continues to rise and billions of dollars a year are spent on healthcare; US healthcare is the most expensive care in the world.  You Reactive Healthcaremight find it surprising that we rank 18th in the world in overall health.

How does one react to such an astonishing statistic?  We can be reactive or proactive.  Reactive healthcare is what we traditionally think of as healthcare in this country. We live our day to day lives, waiting for something to go wrong, and when it does we then expect a doctor or other healthcare provider to “fix us”.
