I say that alot of people don't care about their health and are a big drain on the system. Therefore, the people who practice preventive medicine should get some kind of reward.
I see tons of obese people who think only of their next meal and never get off their doff to exercise or help better themselves.
Maybe a tax break or something equal that would inspire more people to take better care of themselves.
My best friend, at the age of 69 was way out of shape and had the worst eating habits. He got tired after just very little physical activity. He was at least 40 pounds over-weight.
It got so bad he wrecked his knees. The doctor suggested he lose alot of weight before he had both knees replaced.
He changed his eating habits and started a work-out regimen that included an exercise machine and bicycle riding.
What a difference...he had both knees done and now he is a different man. He maintained his new lifestyle habits and he is energetic and full of enthusiasm. He never tires easy like before.
In closing, people respond to incentives and to reward people who do not drain the system might be something to look into.
