Quote:This is the argument in favor of government control of what we eat. Not sure if you are serious.

America does not have a healthcare problem, it has a lifestyle problem. I just spent 4 days at a conference where the key note was on the integration of wearable technology and preventative healthcare. You guys just have no idea how intrusive the government is going to become to reduce costs. As I said, giving someone else the responsibility to pay for something means they get input into how that thing is used. The gift has strings and there's no free lunch, always. And the cost for healthcare is going to be the requirement to allow oversight of your life to mitigate risk, very soon there will be no other option. It's speaks to the power of our system that so many people live so long while living so poorly in diet and habit. The caveat is that the system is very expensive. Reactive care can no longer be the goal, prevention is the new aim, and it will inevitably reach the point where everyone must conform to program guidelines and big brother will know if you arent.
