According to New York Times, November 30th, the New York legislature is considering bills to be passed to close many hospitals and nursing homes. 

It is quickly and dramitically becoming necessary for people to take charge of their own health care.
Self health care programs are already the way of the future. The need for and use of health coaching (especially by nurses and retirees, as well as doctors and retirees) is rising dramatically.

More and more coporations, institutions, and businesses are hiring health coaches. They do this to increase employee health and attendance; thus it benefits the overall profits of these companies. It is important that employees become informed, educated, and taking action to practice preventive health measures.

The Los Angeles Times article, November 30th, confirms this to be so. The article stated that: 'by 2007, 54% of the largest U.S. employers will offer some version of health coaching to employees, according to a recent survey by the National Business Group on Health and consulting firm Watson Wyatt. Now the idea is trickling down to smaller firms.'

Authentic Health Association does offer health coaching with a 'preventive health care' focus. 'Why wait until employees and/or you get sick? Why not prevent illness?
