Exploding Healthcare Costs Are Out of Control – by Gary D. Halbert of Halbert Wealth Management.

Magazine ArticlesBy AOA of California, INC.

Today I want to address the soaring costs of healthcare, which are rising far more than the Obama administration and the Department of Health and Human Services will admit.
