Health Care Crisis? Or Lifestyle Crisis?

This is a very fine editorial piece from today's Roanoke Times. As Instapundit always (always) says, "read the whole thing." Excerpt: "Anyone who lives in America with eyes can see the central problem facing America, and it is not health care. It is the lifestyle of our citizens. [Another writer is correct] in pointing out that our health care system is broken and needs fixing, but we can bankrupt our companies and our nation trying to treat sickness unless we also address the cause of our poor health. Americans are the fattest, most sedentary, and most addicted to alcohol and tobacco of anyone in the world. There may be one or two countries with similar lifestyle problems, but we have the worst." Read it.

Great blog I hope we can work to build a better health care system as we are in a major crisis and health insurance is a major aspect to many.
