Eat Less, Mostly Plants....either the Pollan way or the Health Insurance Way

Get ready for health care costs to go up in 2010 - chicagotribune.com: "According to a recent survey by Towers Watson, a human resources consulting firm, annual health-care costs are expected to rise 8.2 percent next year.

The cost of health care has risen at a steady clip during the past decade, and workers are now footing a larger portion of the bill.

For a family policy in 2000, the average worker paid a quarter of the annual premium (employers covered the remaining cost), according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit that studies health care issues.

Today, the average employee's share has climbed to 29 percent."
