Credible
estimates say obesity costs about 216,000 lives annually. It’s been
also estimated that universal health coverage, with its enormous costs
and drastic overhaul of the health system may save just 18,000 lives.
And that can cost trillions.
What
is needed is education in schools, public forums, and media about
general health habits. (Note: I said educational efforts and not
mandatory government diktats worthy only of socialist or fascist
societies.)
