This interesting study looked at after people have a heart attack how the emotional and mental stress of having a heart attack increases healthcare costs via additional ER visits, hospitalizations etc. People who have a higher income, are able to exercise, etc felt less stress and had less healthcare related visits and costs. An important area to consider is setting up for patients ways to manage emotional and mental stress prior to their initial hospital discharge. This should be done by health insurance companies and Medicaid/Medicare as it will also save them money. 🇺🇸
