re: #85 palomino

Well:

1) it is disease care, not health care. Part of the problem is that people let themselves go, and do not take responsible care of their own health; then politicians, chronic over-promisers that they are, pander that they will take care of one’s health; this tempts the lazy to ensconce themselves further into their laziness and you have a downward spiral of less health and more costs.

2) we cannot have a sensible debate on this issue without defining the terms of the debate; and the first term is ill-defined.

3) There is such a thing as the “President’s council on Physical Fitness,” started by Ike, by the way, and recently re-named to include the words “and nutrition.” Michelle O has promoted this; and there lies the solution to this whole problem.
