The Obesity Scare

Another day, another scary problem overtaking the american citizenry. If it wasn't the financial debacle, it's the obesity tsunami! Healthcare costs going up, incidence of diabetes and high blood pressure are skyrocketing with no end in site. What are we to do? Since I can't help you with your upside down mortgage, let me try to at least reduce your medical costs. In the ensuing posts, I will try to present some simple ideas that could help people shave off good chunks of their monthly medical expenses.

P.S. Since this is my initial post, let me be clear right of the bat - our present healthcare system is quite dysfunctional and is unlikely to survive in its present form. (and this is the polite version coming from a practicing physician).
