In 2019, health care spending in the United States topped $3.8 trillion dollars — nearly 18% of the gross domestic product (GDP) — as projected by the CMS Office of the Actuary. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the agency had projected health spending would continue to grow at a rate of 5.3% a year, reaching nearly $6.2 trillion by 2028. If those increases were to continue unabated over the next 20 years, health spending could reach a staggering $11.8 trillion by 2040. Although the pandemic caused people to defer care throughout much of 2020, a rebound and then continuation of the trends beyond 2021 could drive health care spending to historic levels in the coming years.

There’s something so comforting about a hearty bowl of beans this time of year. Not only are they high in protein and fiber, but they’re such a filling dinner that can be made in big batches.

No-salt added canned beans are an easy go-to that don’t require any prep time! But if you have a little extra time, soaking dried beans overnight is a great option too. Beans in their dried form are often cheaper and can be bought in the bulk section of certain grocery stores. Store the beans in an airtight container until the day before you prepare them and soak them in water the night before you plan to cook them.

Here’s a quick tip: if a recipe calls for a 15oz can of beans, that’s equivalent to roughly ½ cup of dried beans, or 1½ cups cooked beans.
