According to a new research report by RNCOS entitled, “Analysis of Coronary Stent in US”, healthcare spending in the US is amongst the highest in the world. Amongst others, one of the key factors for the steady rise in US healthcare expenditure is the rise in prevalence of chronic diseases. Emphasis on research and development has resulted in newer treatments, which along with other changes in the modern society has resulted in higher life expectancy, which is around 80 years for an average citizen. But as one ages, chances of acquiring a chronic disease, especially cardio vascular disorders, increases. As baby boomers approach retirement age, they are expected to completely change the face of the US healthcare system, mainly due to their additional medical needs, compared to previous generations.
