Three different methods of cost containment are: technological
advances, the aging population, and health related lawsuits.
Technological advances is raising the cost of health care because
of the heart, kidney, lung, and liver transplants; transplants cost
millions of dallors. The aging population is raising the cost of
health care because older individuals have more chronic diseases
and need more health services. Health related lawsuits is raising
the cost of health care because lawsuits force health care
providers to obtain expensive malpractice insurance.
