In the face of reform, health insurance premiums will continue to skyrocket in the coming years. Several relaible sources have indicated that healthy individuals are choosing to dilute their benefits or cancel coverage all together to reduce stress on their monthly budget. While at the same time pushing the burden of increased premium to individuals in poor health that can't sacrifice their coverage levels. The Wall Street Journal published a very poignant article relating to the future trends of supply and demand for health care in the United States and the affect of the inflated insurance premium.

Is Health Care Reform in the Rear View Mirror?
This the scary realization that $1 out of every $5 spent in the United States will be going towards health care by the year 2020 (Stat. by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)). The importance of passing a comprehensive health care reform bill is even more pertinent. We as Americans need to address this issue to maintain our current level of quality care while at the same time reduce the overall cost.
In an effort to resuscitate the health care reform bill, President Obama has invited Republicans and Democrats to the White House for a February 25 summit. Whether this is just a way to encourage the passing of the current version of House's health care reform bill or to announce that health care reform is dead for 2010. The President truly believes he can get the patients up and moving again, "We've got to finish the job on health care. We've got to finish the job on financial regulatory reform. We got to finish the job, even though it's hard."
Senator elect Scott Brown (MA) was officially sworn into office on February 4, ahead of schedule to weaken the Democrats' supermajority in the Senate with a 59-41 chair difference.
