Joe, part of your post is clearly right and part is clearly wrong.

Yes, we need to increase preventive health care and physical exercise. But that doesn't mean we can ignore health care for the uninsured.

Remember what so many continue to forget on this thread. We are not talking about socialized medicine, we are talking about socialized medical insurance. Frankly the government seems to be in a better position to promote "healthy lifestyles" than the insurance industry. At least you could assume that from the present system.

John

health and well being is a personal responsibility, not something you offload (or outsourced) from:

#1: you

to

#2 your Doc
#3 Big Pharma
#4 Big Insurance
#5 Big Government

The most effective solutions are closest to #1, the further out you go, the less effective the solutions are. (And I am extremely generous by calling #3 to #5 solutions. They are in fact part of the problem)

Thank you That is well put and quite true.
