You are so politically correct SGG. Where ya been? I thought maybe somebody shot the sheriff but missed the deputy....?
Really you are correct America's weight problems are a giant snowball effect in the healthcare system.....that gets passed along to ALL that CAN afford healthcare.
The unfurtunate folks (which sucks) that also get's passed along to the folks that pay for healthcare.
Premiums continue to increace and benefits get cut, it's a no win for the average working man.
