No healthcare insurance whether Medicare Medicaid or private can take care of a population where 65% are obese 100 million have fatty liver disease 50 million have diabetes 96 million are prediabetic and every other marathon or needs a hip replacement or knee replacement or something our bodies are damaged and our minds are even worse.
