There are many ways to calculate cost. The immediate expenses are those you can see and count in dollars like health insurance premiums, annual deductibles, and the cost of medical visits. Deferred expenses, attributed to the development of chronic diseases over time, can add eight to twenty thousand dollars per year in additional medical expenses.
What value can be assigned to the loss of your strength and mobility? Your eyesight? Your pain and suffering? We don't often think about this when we are thinking about healthcare. But really, this is where we should begin. We need to place our emphasis on value. Having more time to enjoy friends and family has value. Being able to breathe more freely has value. So does, being able to enjoy activities like fishing, reading, traveling, or going to church. What value is attending your daughter's wedding or the joy of playing with your grandkids? This is where our focus needs to be - living better lives through better health. This is the value MyPreference™ brings to Dr. Carol Rupe's patients.
