Rising obesity, changing food habits, increasing life stress, and a longer life expectancy are driving up healthcare costs in India. As more people live in nuclear families instead of joint families, there is less financial support during medical emergencies. Proper health insurance planning can help create a strong financial foundation and ensure financial freedom in old age by preparing for unexpected healthcare costs that rise with age and push many into debt. Getting health insurance early is important as costs rise and it becomes harder to qualify for coverage as one ages.

WellPortals - Wellness That Makes Financial Sense
WellPortals provides online wellness programs that target major chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer prevention. These performance-based programs are designed to reduce the symptoms, occurrences, and high costs of chronic illnesses. Chronic diseases drive up healthcare costs, as they affect up to 77% of the population and account for over 75% of health care spending. WellPortals focuses on high-risk individuals with chronic conditions through a systematic wellness system combining online tools and weekly group classes, with the goal of producing lasting lifestyle improvements to reduce costs. Studies in Asheville and Hickory, North Carolina found medical expenses dropped 40%, sick days reduced 50%, and hospitalizations cut 50% through WellPortals' lifestyle modification programs
The Rising Cost of Diabetes
Millions of people are diagnosed with diabetes, and the effects are more than physical. The cost of treating the disease has risen significantly in recent years, and many people are at risk of being priced out of their health. Find out how much it costs to treat diabetes and how patients can reduce their expenses.
Seeing Nutrition Through the Consumer's Eyes
The document discusses findings from the International Food Information Council's Food & Health Survey from 2006 to 2008. Some key findings include:
- The majority of Americans view their health positively but only about half are satisfied with their health status.
- Most Americans have made changes to their diet in the past six months to improve health, often to lose weight or improve overall well-being.
- Taste is the top factor influencing food purchases, followed by price and healthfulness.
- Nutrition information can be interesting but is often seen as confusing and conflicting.
Health economics
Health and economics are interlinked, as health requires resources like money, time, and services provided through economic means. A person's health is correlated with their access to healthcare, which is impacted by a nation's health-related investments, funding, and policies. In Nepal and worldwide, many barriers exist that prevent people from accessing adequate economic health facilities, leading 150 million people to suffer financial hardship annually due to direct medical costs. While governments work to increase access to healthcare, high rates of corruption limit the impact of increased funding. Nepal spends only a small percentage of its budget and GDP on healthcare, resulting in most health expenditures being paid directly by individuals. To address this, Nepal has begun pilot programs for universal health insurance to help make

Health care policy in the United States, Canada and China
This document compares the health care systems of the United States, Canada, and China. It finds that while the US spends the most on health care as a percentage of GDP, it has a lower life expectancy than Canada. China spends the least but has increased funding for reform. Key factors discussed include pharmaceutical costs, administration costs, income levels, the uninsured population, lifestyle/obesity rates, and recent reforms in the US and China. Excessive medical treatment and fraud are also noted as increasing costs without improving health outcomes.
CorporateWellnessPresentation_2-23-14_Kathy_Green
This document discusses the benefits of corporate wellness programs for employees and businesses. It notes that the Affordable Care Act supports workplace wellness to help address chronic diseases. Wellness programs can decrease healthcare costs through reduced absenteeism and presenteeism. Studies show medical cost savings of $3.27 for every $1 spent on wellness. Common health issues addressed include obesity, heart disease, cancer, mental health, stress, and smoking. The document outlines costs associated with these issues and how wellness programs targeting nutrition, physical activity, and stress can help improve outcomes and reduce costs.
Jeff wells
This document discusses how employers are changing the healthcare landscape by addressing chronic conditions and improving population health. It notes that chronic conditions drive 86% of healthcare costs and are caused by behaviors like poor diet, smoking, and lack of physical activity. Employer-sponsored primary care clinics and health coaching programs can help improve health outcomes like lowering cholesterol and A1C levels. Engaged patients have lower costs, with actual costs being 1-7% lower than expected. Analysis of three employers found engaged patients saved over $2.6 million compared to non-engaged patients.
What the church can do
This document discusses poverty and health inequities. It finds that those living in poverty experience significantly higher rates of many health issues compared to more affluent groups. For example, in Saskatoon low-income residents are over 1000% more likely to be hospitalized for diabetes or have chlamydia. A survey found most people agree the poor have worse health, and support policies to strengthen early childhood programs, increase income supplements, and expand disease prevention. The document calls on governments and communities, including faith groups, to work together using evidence-based solutions to improve conditions for daily living and reduce health inequities over time.
Health 3.0 Leadership Conference: Population Health in Detroit with David Law
Health 3.0 Leadership Conference: Population Health in Detroit with David LawCenter for Public Health Practice & Leadership at UC Berkeley
In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.
Enjoy this Bright Spot presentation with David Law of Joy-Southfield Community Development Corporation, which was presented at the 2013 Annual Leadership Conference, co-sponsored by the Center for Health Leadership (CHL) and the California Pacific Public Health Training Center (CALPACT) at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health.

This document discusses the challenges that the elderly face in accessing affordable and adequate healthcare. As the elderly population increases in size, more will require long-term care which is very expensive. Many elderly live on fixed incomes from social security and have to choose between basic needs like food and medication due to rising healthcare costs. The limited coverage of Medicare often leaves elderly shouldering thousands of dollars in medical bills. Improving preventative care and increasing the number of geriatricians could help alleviate costs and ensure the needs of the growing elderly population are met in the future.
Health and pollution 4.4
The document discusses managing health risks and sustainability of health programs. It notes that both short-term emergency response and long-term sustainable planning are important for effective health management. While some health issues like smallpox eradication have been successfully managed through coordinated global efforts, addressing other issues like HIV/AIDS has proven more difficult to sustain over the long term due to challenges in securing reliable funding. The document also examines debates around vertical versus horizontal health programming approaches.
Social Determinants of Health and Sustainable Human Development
Presentation by Sir Michael Marmot (Director, Institute of Health Equity, University College, London)
James Marks
This document summarizes key findings from presentations given at a conference on health reform and prevention. It shows that prevention can save significant costs, especially for conditions like diabetes, but is often undervalued. Where you live also impacts health outcomes. As the population ages, there will be fewer workers supporting more retirees, increasing financial pressures on health systems. Lifestyle factors like smoking, obesity, and inactivity greatly increase risks of disease. Those who are at higher risk see disability onset nearly 7 years earlier. Healthier elderly individuals live longer and incur lower lifetime medical costs than less healthy peers.
Owoeye paper
The document discusses the effects of health insurance on demand for healthcare in Oyo State, Nigeria. It finds that older people tend to use health insurance (NHIS) more than others, with 22% of older people using it. Health insurance reduces the financial burden of healthcare costs on households by making payments predictable. However, most healthcare facilities in Oyo State are privately owned, making care potentially more expensive without insurance. The study aims to determine how health insurance affects demand for healthcare in the state.
Population Health Management 101
Population health management aims to prevent disease and promote health through organized community efforts, as defined by Charles-Edward A. Winslow. The US spends more on healthcare per capita than any other nation but covers only 34% of its population. Several health indicators, such as infant mortality rates, show the US performing worse than other developed nations. Implementing population health management could help address these issues through holistic population trend analysis, enhanced patient engagement, and more coordinated, cost-effective care. However, barriers to implementation include inefficient data sharing, a lack of health IT infrastructure, incomplete data, and challenges with change management.
Surveillance for Health Disparities and the Social Determinants of Health - D...
This document discusses health equity, health disparities, and social determinants of health. It defines health equity as achieving the highest level of health for all people through addressing avoidable inequalities. Health disparities are closely linked to social and economic disadvantage and adversely affect groups that have systematically faced discrimination. Social determinants of health are the circumstances where people are born, live, work and age, shaped by economics, social policies and politics. These determinants include education, employment, income, housing, transportation, social status and environment. The document provides examples of health disparities data from different cities and states, and discusses how improving social determinants like education can positively impact health.
linked in summary
Chronic illness poses a significant threat to health and the economy. It affects 80% of adults in industrial societies and accounts for 80% of healthcare spending. By 2017, spending on chronic illnesses in the U.S. is projected to reach $4.3 trillion. Lifestyle factors are the primary cause of chronic diseases, and lifestyle changes are more effective and less expensive than medical treatment in addressing chronic illnesses. However, lifestyle intervention is not adequately taught in healthcare educational programs. The document advocates for training healthcare providers to help patients adopt healthy lifestyle changes to better treat and prevent chronic diseases.
Indicators of health
This document discusses health indicators which are variables that can be directly measured to reflect the health status of a community. Good health indicators are valid, reliable, sensitive, specific and feasible. They are used to measure, describe and compare community health, identify health needs, plan health resources, and measure health successes. Examples of common health indicators discussed are mortality rates, morbidity rates, disability rates, and nutritional indicators. Specific indicators described in detail include crude death rate, life expectancy, infant mortality rate, and maternal mortality rate. Challenges with health indicators and ways to improve them are also outlined.
Wealth and health in Africa Nicholas Li
The document discusses several low-cost nutritional, infectious disease, and health interventions that have proven effective in developing countries, such as iron supplements, deworming treatments, bed nets, and vaccinations. However, uptake of these interventions remains low due to issues like low quality of public services, lack of information and trust, and household decision-making dynamics. The document argues that more "nudges" like subsidies, convenience measures, and incentives could help increase uptake, as people in all societies respond to some degree of paternalistic guidance around public health issues.
Community Health Charities Introduction 2010
The document discusses the benefits of workplace wellness programs and charitable giving campaigns. It notes that over 133 million Americans have chronic illnesses, which account for 75% of healthcare spending. Workplace wellness programs have been shown to lower medical costs by $3.27 for every dollar spent and reduce absenteeism costs by $2.73 for every dollar spent. Such programs can improve employee health and productivity while reducing employers' healthcare costs.

The American Medical Association (AMA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have launched an initiative called "Prevent Diabetes STAT" to reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes. Over 86 million Americans have prediabetes, but less than 10% know they are at risk. This new initiative will expand screening and refer more people to diabetes prevention programs. It provides tools for doctors to screen and refer patients to local programs. The goal is to help people make lifestyle changes to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes through increased physical activity and healthy eating.MNI Orphan Disease Scenario in India
India has a large population affected by orphan diseases, around 72 million people. While some premier medical institutions provide diagnostic facilities, more involvement is needed from the state government to address unmet needs. There is no standard definition for orphan diseases in India, but they are generally considered rare diseases that affect 1 in 5,000 people or less. Many international researchers see Indian physicians as having expertise in diagnosing orphan diseases. Patient associations partner with academic institutions and work to educate people about orphan diseases.

Disparities in Children's Health
Anne C. Beale, MD, MPH, the president of the Aetna Foundation speaks about disparities in child health care, the causes behind those disparities, and policies that can reduce them.
Relationship between Health and Poverty
Poverty and health are closely linked worldwide. Being poor can both cause and result from poor health. The document discusses the relationship between poverty and poor health indicators like life expectancy and infant/maternal mortality. Living in poverty increases risks of diseases and health issues due to factors like poor nutrition, sanitation, housing and lack of access to healthcare. It also presents India's poverty rates and health indicators by state. Addressing poverty through policies and programs that enhance income, food, housing, sanitation, healthcare, education and employment can help alleviate health issues and improve well-being.
Health Care
This document discusses rising health care costs in the United States. It notes that costs are constantly increasing due to factors like prescription drug costs, an aging population, and expensive treatments for conditions like heart disease and cancer. Specific data is provided on the percentage of total health care costs accounted for by the chronically ill and elderly. The document also examines public attitudes about who deserves health care and how personal responsibility could play a role in reducing costs. It concludes by announcing the topic of discussion for the next class will be deliberating options to reduce health care costs while ensuring access to needed care.

BPHC304 LECTURE 5.ppt
This document outlines the links between health, poverty, and economic development. It discusses how poverty can negatively impact health through limited access to healthcare, nutrition, and education. Poor health can then perpetuate poverty by reducing productivity and labor outcomes. The document reviews econometric methods for studying these relationships and summarizes evidence showing impacts of improved health on education and economic outcomes. Health expenditures and indicators vary significantly between rich and poor countries.
India faces diabetes explosion
India is facing a diabetes epidemic as the number of diabetics is projected to increase to over 100 million in the next 15 years. While India has made progress in reducing childhood stunting, there are growing concerns about the rise in overweight and obese populations that are prone to diabetes. Public health policies need to be strengthened to address both undernutrition and overnutrition issues like diabetes.
Conference Of Churches Universal Health Care Presentation 1
The document discusses the need for universal healthcare access in Connecticut. It notes that the number of uninsured residents is rising as costs increase, putting healthcare out of reach for many. While taxpayers already pay for a large portion of healthcare costs, the system remains unsustainable without covering all residents. The document advocates for a universal healthcare system that would improve health outcomes and reduce costs by emphasizing preventative care for all.
23456
The document discusses malnutrition in India and proposes solutions. It notes that nearly half of Indian children are underweight or stunted. Rural and girl children experience higher rates of malnutrition. Short term strategies include nutrition programs while long term strategies involve economic growth, poverty reduction, and partnerships between agencies. The document proposes collecting unused food from weddings and transporting it to orphanages and poor children to tackle malnutrition in a sustainable way. Responsible individuals would be appointed and food hygiene ensured before distribution. Wedding planners would help facilitate this social cause.
helth care reform
Health care reform in India is handled by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, which consists of three departments: Health, Family Welfare, and AYUSH. The goal of health care reform is to make health care more accessible and available to all citizens by providing universal health coverage, decreasing costs, and improving access and quality. However, India faces challenges in reforming its health care system due to issues like a lack of infrastructure and medical professionals in rural areas, as well as underfunding and malnutrition among parts of the population. Overall reforms are needed to make the health care system more inclusive, preventive-focused, and sustainable over the long term.

The number of diabetics in India is projected to increase to over 100 million in the next 15 years. While India has made progress against undernutrition, public health policies now need to also address the growing problems of overnutrition and diabetes. Non-communicable diseases like heart disease also place a large economic burden on Indian families.
India faces diabetes explosion
India is facing a diabetes epidemic as the number of diabetics is projected to increase to over 100 million in the next 15 years. While India has made progress in reducing childhood stunting, the growing rate of overweight and obese individuals, especially those prone to diabetes, is a cause for concern. Public health policies need to be strengthened to combat both undernutrition and the rising threat of overnutrition and diabetes.
Essay Health
This document discusses health literacy and defines it as the degree to which individuals can obtain, process, and understand basic health information needed to make appropriate healthcare decisions. Only 12% of adults in the U.S. have proficient health literacy, meaning nine out of ten adults may lack the skills to manage their health. Poor health literacy is estimated to waste $35-73 billion annually due to prolonged hospital stays and frequent doctor visits. Improving health education from kindergarten through college is presented as a long-term solution to address this costly societal problem.

healthreform-middleclass-vpotus
Middle class Americans are struggling under the increasing financial burden of rising healthcare costs. They spend on average 9% of their income on premiums and out-of-pocket costs, which is growing over time. Over a quarter of the uninsured are middle class, and their rates of being uninsured are also growing. Even those with insurance have reduced access to care, with 11% delaying and 8% avoiding care due to costs. The current healthcare system fails the middle class by not controlling costs, diminishing coverage, and reducing choice and access to care.

Micronutrient malnutrition is prevalent not just in developing regions but also industrialized nations, affecting all age groups but most at risk are children and pregnant women.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
