  The Scary Reality about Activated Charcoal for the Skin Activated Charcoal Introduction: What is Activated Charcoal and Why is it Dangerous?

COSTLY CHRONIC HEALTH CARE NEEDS ARE GROWING AND PUTTING CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION ON HEALTH SYSTEM

  This article discusses the annual global cost projections for chronic health care needs. It is stated that this cost has more than doubled since 2000, and medical spending had accounted for 87% of all health care spending in the United States. The paper also discusses how with this increased spending, there are limitations to resource utilization, equity, and access to care which are largely unaccounted for by these numbers. The paper discusses in detail the cost and access in the United States and Canada, and in the last part, it looks at health care costs trends in various middle-income countries. The paper finds that with health care costs increasing at over 10% per year, there are increasing pressures on the current system. Most developed countries already have developed chronic condition management systems which are able to assist in case management of chronic conditions. These systems are good at managing chronic conditions, but they are prone to cost shifting, offering ine...
