Prevention and Wellness


These charts from the Wall Street Journal show that a lot of people refuse to follow Doctors' orders. They figure that rebellion is costing billions of Dollars annually.

The future is here and it will reward medical practices, businesses, insurance companies that make sure workers exercise, eat right, don't smoke, don't drink, and stay away from the Doctor. They will punish those groups that fail to get their workers to practice good health habits.

Do you think I am kidding? Read this and weep.

How will "Big Brother" know if you are practicing good health habits, eating right, losing weight, and refusing donuts? They will follow your buying data. Taking home chocolate? There goes your insurance costs. Gaining weight? Failing to exercise? It is a luxury that will cost you a lot of money.

Are you happy with your Doctor and with your policy? Too bad! It has been replaced by a comprehensive, all seeing connection to a computer at the IRS. But fear not, they are on your side. They are warm, fuzz balls who will follow up on your purchases to keep you healthy. They really love you.
