Whether you are a republican or a democrat doesn’t matter. You can solve the health care crises single handedly.
The three most expensive diseases and top killers in the United States……Heart Disease…Cancer….Stroke…have been proven to be lifestyle
and diet related. The fifth top killer is type II Diabetes, also very expensive but well within our control.
Who Gets Type 2 Diabetes?
Anyone can get type 2 diabetes. However, those at highest risk for the disease are those who are obese or overweight, women who have had gestational diabetes, people with family members who have type 2 diabetes and people who have metabolic syndrome (a cluster of problems that include high cholesterol, high triglycerides, low good ‘HDL’ cholesterol and a high bad ‘LDL’ cholesterol, and high blood pressure).
In addition, people who smoke, have inactive lifestyles, or have certain dietary patterns have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Same goes for heart disease, cancer and strokes.
Not dying from or paying for these “diseases” becomes our choice.
