10. For now no... in long term yes.. Affordable care and annual check ups
and going to the dr. before the problem would help.. Would also help if McDonald's was more expensive than making a salad from the grocery store. The idea is if you take care of yourself and check in with a Dr... long term you will be healthier before diabetes, heart disease, or whatever sets in... Then again, unless the food and habits of Americans don't change, then you can forget about saving money long term.

A grocery store should be mostly fruits and veggies with some meat, grains, and perhaps a tiny aisle of sweets. As of now, the stuff in the middle aisles is junk. America's work week needs to be reduced and adequate to meet financial needs. Real public transportation needs to be implemented, and walking needs to increase, in general.. Box stores spralled between suburban meccas is not beneficial to the American Ass.

Its not just the Dr.s that mean healthcare. Its excercise, peace of mind, and time to relax. We are rushed and don't take the time to enjoy food, excercise, family and friends, or our children.
