Utah's effort to get a grip on medical costs isn't coming a moment too soon, and it might already be too late if a bottom-line assessment with "devastating statistics" of national health-care spending released Monday is even half-right. In a report from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, U.S. spending on medical care in 2008 reached $2.4 trillion, which is almost double the current $1.3 trillion federal deficit. Things will continue to be the opposite of good throughout this year as costs clip along nationwide at a pace that will nearly double to $4.4 trillion by 2018 -- the year Utah's health-care system reform is to be pretty much in place.

A number of authorities believe the ratio of net income to total assets is not nearly as crucial an indication of a credit union's health in 2008 as it has been in the past. According to statistics from the National Credit Union Administration, ROA rates at credit unions have been steadily declining.
