In today’s world, everyone wants the most from health care. In the last 10 years, health care has changed in a big way. One thing, in which has changed, is “the way older adults are living ten years longer than before” (Imperial NHS, 2011). Another thing is that people do not have to wait as long for treatments, like before, such as” eye surgeries, like cataract surgery” (Imperial NHS, 2011), which is very good. The health care industry has come a long way than before and a big thing that has changed is the social networking. This means that more people are “communicating with each other in a positive way, due to more technology that has been researched and found” (Kevin MD, 2011, p. 1). There are many people able to stay home, instead of living in nursing homes, like before. They have caregivers to help them with services, such as bathing, dressing, cleaning, and cooking. Health care is improving in a good way and many things could happen in 10 years from now. In the next 10 years, the cost in health care will get reduced ; however, there could be chaos, such as “pollution and other germs, which could affect the lives of many people and his or her health” (Wells, 2012, p. 1). This could lead to “ infectious diseases and illnesses, due to stress build-up” (Wells, 2012, ), which could result to more health care services, so the prices could rise.. The most important change in the healthcare industry will be showing more new technological advancements, such as “new types of drugs that would kill viruses and repair the important cells that make the proteins, an individual needs” (Wells, 2012, p. 1), however, the USA could go bankrupt, if the prices are still too high. No one can afford insurance. I
