Obesity costs about 216,000 lives annually, according to credible estimates.
It’s been also estimated that universal health coverage, with its enormous costs and drastic overhaul of the health system may save just another 18,000 lives. And that can cost trillions.
Something does not add up here. What is needed is education in schools, public forums, and media about general health habits.
And how attempting to fine tune the nail in our present health care system, with a ten-ton truck, can bankrupt our entire economy for generations to come.
