New studies conducted on unhealthy baby boomers are revealing some disturbing findings that hint at even higher prices and lower availability for future health insurance plans.

In a study reported by MSN Health, "a growing body of evidence suggests that [ baby boomers ] may be the first generation to enter their golden years in worse health than their parents."

While the boomers are less likely to smoke and are more aware of most health dangers, issues like obesity and diabetes have changed the way that health insurance plans are put together, and priced.

And then there're prescription drugs. This generation has made the use of prescription drugs more than popular, it's almost necessary (an idea that has been conceived and pushed on them by both pharmaceutical companies, and many doctors).

And with more than 78 million baby boomers struggling with such health concerns, there may soon be "crisis" approaching regarding not only how to afford healthcare, nor how to design good health insurance plans for them, but more important, how to properly care for millions of Americans facing deadly diseases.
