Why Yell for Health?

According to the National Coalition on Health Care ,  the cost of health care has risen "two to five times the rate of inflation since 2000." What this means to citizens is rapidly increasing insurance premiums for individuals and businesses. The average American is now struggling to juggle the costs of their daily expenses, which now includes the cost of health care. "Average out-of-pocket costs for co-payments, coinsurance and deductibles rose 115 percent," since 2000, says the NCHC.This has led to the increase of Americans without insurance when "seven million people lost their coverage between 2000 and 2005."

Here at Yell For Health, we have to ask, "isn't there a better way?" We think there must be. As the richest and most powerful country in the world, how can it be that so many of our citizens are in crippling debt, unable to support themselves, for something as necessary as health care? It's time that the U.S Government got a real look at the lives of those who are affected by this system on a daily basis. Yell For Health invites you, the average American, to share your story and allow it to be heard by those with the capabilities and further, the responsibility, to make change and better the country.
