With the economic downturn, many states are seeing enormous budget shortfalls that put a strain on their health care spending. This has at least one medical alert company concerned that cost-cutting efforts could reduce state support for home medical alert services. Chris Hendriksen, president of Ohio-based VRI, is quoted in the Dayton Daily News as saying that these types of cuts are short-sighted: they increase medical costs in the long term. "There are lots of things that can be cut today but won't really hurt until tomorrow," he says.
