You know, the US is stupid. We spend far to much on healthcare, it isn't because of insurance companies either, it is because of our diet!!!! We poison ourselves with this food that causes all these diseases, that then cost 100's of thousands of dollars to treat, and then some demand that they have a right to demand others fix that which is caused 90%+ of the time by the individual in question. Here's two good videos one from ted, the other a professor (forgot from where), explaining the majority of major disease developing can be traced back to our overconsumption of sugar/ high fructose corn syrup. It's pretty straight forward, and the irony of the situation is that government food programs such as WIC encourage this pattern by what they provide to them. So, this whole situation is solvable, as in we could easily bring healthcare costs down, provide more preventative care, and live longer and healthier, with the only change being a reduction of sugar. AS THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE INCREASE IN DIABETES, THAT IS CAUSING MOST HEART DISEASE, THAT IS WHAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE GROWTH OF CANCER. Anyway, prevention is entirely in our control on this one. Or we can fight forever over how to pay for what are in majority preventable diseases. Here's the links watch them if you wish..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dBnniua6-oM http://www.ted.com/talks/view/lang/eng//id/859
