Americans struggle to pay for healthcare: study

Good news.

"Americans are struggling to pay for healthcare in the ongoing economic recession, with a quarter saying they have had trouble in the past 12 months, according to a survey released on Monday.

Baby boomers -- the generation born between 1946 and 1964 -- had the most trouble and were the most likely to put off medical treatments or services, said researchers at Center for Healthcare Improvement, part of the Healthcare business of Thomson Reuters."

The problem is that they are "belly boomers," not baby boomers.

And their fat spawn, Gen XXL (truncatedly referred to as "Gen X") is part of the problem, too.

Hopefully, the costs will be so great, that spending on Calories will decline resulting in weight loss and a reversal in the upward trend of sick care costs.
