Getting Health Care Revenge

The American Medical Association recently revealed that at least 25 cents of every health care dollar is spent on the treatment of diseases or disabilities that result from potentially changeable behaviors. Whether the cause is smoking, alcohol abuse, poor diet, lack of exercise, failure to use seat-belts, or overexposure to the sun, preventable health care costs are the first concern of many U.S. health care critics. I'm surprised it's that low.

So the best revenge against the health care system is to stay out of it. I once heard a person say that if you want to be successful then stop doing the things unsuccessful people do. Point: If you want to reduce your chances of needing medical care then stop doing the things that unhealthy people do. That is the best revenge.
