trillion or over $5,600 per citizen (Still, 2006). The amount spent on benefit programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, increases each year (Still, 2006). This exponential increase in health care
costs has been going on since the 1990s, yet, government has yet to take a firm stance on the issue and do something (Still, 2006). The conflict is between two
policy issues - one group strongly advocates broader federal health care programs for all people and the other group believes individuals should be primarily responsible for their own health
care (Still, 2006). Still (2006) asserts there will be no movement in this stalemate until both groups stand back from their own narrow points of view and truly considers: "What

care in this country as having any effect on economic competitiveness. Economists seem to agree that health care spending contributes to "a healthier, more productive workforce" (Still, 2006). This,
in turn, gives the country a competitive edge in an increasingly larger global economy (Still, 2006). This includes expenditures for the latest technology, which is most often extremely expensive (Still,
2006). The new technology more quickly diagnoses serious health issues and also is involved in treating or curing many conditions (Still, 2006). An HHS study, for example, said: increased
health care spending improves access to new technologies - providing both new options of treatment (substitution) and treatment for a greater number of individuals (expansion) (Still, 2006). Innovative technology leads
