What are some health care careers with the least amount of physical labor?

We Answered:

A number of health fields have minimal physical labor. You do not note your education level. However as a physician, you could be a family practitioner and have your patients come into your office. Or a radiologist and review x-rays in your office. A third possibility would be in pharmaceutical medicine (not only physicians, also nurses and pharmacists).

Why are health care careers booming? Is medical insurance funds/savings increasing too?

We Answered:

Healthcare continues to boom due to a number of reasons. Now take note that this isn't across every single instance of healthcare but here are some examples.

Insurance Carriers: Many insurance carriers continue to decrease the reimbursement rates that they would pay providers (doctors/hospitals) for services they provided (physicals, x-rays, etc...). The insurance companies in some instances are paying out less per a service and still increase their rate to policy holders, including employers and employees (us).

Providers (Doctors/Hospitals): Are findings ways to bill for multiple services in a single visit. At the same time they two are negotiating rates. Finding services that require less cost but high reimbursement from patients and insurance carriers. Let's not forget the infamous Medicaid and Medicare programs that pay out as well. Although Medicaid and Medicare pays the least they do pay out the most.

As all of these avenues increase the need for infrastructure continues to grow. Jobs in all fronts are growing significantly from providers, insurance, Govt (Medicaid, etc..) and consulting firms. The nice thing about this is that almost everyone can qualify for some sort of employment as a result. Maintenance (hospitals), Finance, Clinical, Sales, etc...

This list can go on and on but this is the brief version.
