The underlying cause of the medical problems in this country is people's diet/exercise. More and more people have computer jobs and sit there all day (*raises hand*) and don't make up for the difference in cal expenditure in other ways. Then they eat shit for food, get no nutrition whatsoever, blow up into a fat ass, and we wonder why we have such a rampant obesity, diabetes, heart, cancer, etc. problem today.

Health care costs so much because so many more people need it today than in the past. High demand so everyone can raise their prices and suck people dry. If the costs of health care weren't so bad, even if insurance companies made a pretty penny being the middlemen, insurance premiums wouldn't be nearly as bad and people could afford it. This will amount to fixing a gunshot wound with a band-aid, and I've already said enough about how the economy has been in a shithole and should have been his primary focus as it is.

I give props at least to Pepsi and Kraft, who both recently came out and said they're going to be reducing sodium in their products. Hopefully more follow suit and the underlying issue here can be fixed eventually.
