The Lower-Cost Way to Health Care

                               

 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.)
           
Rather than attempting instead to fine tune our present health care system, with trillions of unavailable health dollars,that can bankrupt our entire economy for generations to come. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
