Health Practices and Health Costs
According to a recent report from the Harvard School of Public Health, about 12 health style abuses account for over one million American deaths each year. Cut down those statistics and you have remedied the health care problem which has become so politicized.
It’s been estimated also that smoking costs about 467,000 American lives a year. High blood pressure from unhealthy lifestyles causes about 395,000 lives per year. There is some overlapping as bad health habits are the cause of multiple afflictions.
An emphasis on such changes can save the American economy an enormous amount of money, while keeping its capital infrastructure intact. But that may be too simple for many of our grandstanding politicos.
