In a series of recent radio broadcasts and speeches, Jack Shapiro, healthcare marketing consultant, futurist, broadcast journalist and public speaker has identified a number of healthcare issues that are often going unrecognized or under-reported in the United States:

. There’s so much talk about living to be 120 – 150 years old even in our
own lifetimes, but recently-released government data throw significant
doubt on such hopes.

. Although we have made extensive gains in extending lifespan in this
country, there is much evidence that those gains are slowing down.

. It is difficult to envision a healthier society and longer lifespans when 44 million people have no health insurance and at least 30 million households are underinsured.

. We have finally cracked the human genome but therapeutic breakthroughs will be slow in coming – although diagnostic breakthroughs are likely to be impressive.

. Research and development spending may be slowing down: there are fewer major pharmaceutical companies, many of the biotechs are underfunded, and federal funding is under tight squeeze.
