Sepsis now dominates the hospital ICU. It is what kills most AIDS patients too. Antibiotic resistance is driving costs.
The ICU is now 40% of US hospital budgets.
This is bankrupting state and federal budgets.
This is why medicare, medicaid, obamacare are bankrupting US Govt (Fed and State) budgets.
In 2013 health dominated state budgets.
Today 1/4 of US VA and Indian Health patients are diabetic.
US Defense Dept. funding must now compete with Medicare.
Today 40% of hospital costs are for growing ICU's and chronic disease.
1/2 of US Medicare cost = chronic disease from diabetes.
