You can have the best healthcare in the world and it won’t overcome modern lifestyle choices.

I spent the last week in 4 different states and airports. The BMI variety between them was staggering. Diabetes rates aren’t soaring because some healthplan is expensive.

People blame opoids like they’re causal. Those people have always been in physical agony, there’s just a magic pill now for their disability and as more people make worse choices that population is only going to grow.

Until K-12 diets and physical activity become mandates I don’t see how we get ahead of this problem with tech or cheaper healthcare.
