Americans spent $138.5 billion in out-of-pocket health care expenses in 2008, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And that number excludes health insurance premiums, nursing home care, nonprescription drugs, nonprescription vitamins, and topical remedies and dressings. There is going to be a lot of change in the health care system in the coming years and a lot of it has to do with problems relating to this.

I think the most telling expense is that in thirty years, health care costs are projected to cost 35 cents for every dollar we produce.
