interesting idea codjam, but how do you prevent accidental injuries with salad? ;-)
Healthier food and life is definitely helpful in preventing some disease, but every pregnant woman will tell you she wants healthcare for the pregnancy and delivery and every parent who has a kid break their collarbone falling off the jungle gym and every aging person finding themselves with health problems that have developed
from a slip and fall or aging organs or dental problems... well, obviously, dietand exercise alone are not going to be the answer for health care."

I agree we need a machanic for our bodies from time to time,(and probably salad insurance) but most of the ill-heath industry feeds off our laziness and inability to afford healthy food. By-the-way I was pregnant twice, and didn't have "health care". I used a naturalpathic doc the first time ($500) and a mid-wife the second ($about the same) . I had em both at home. I realize some woman have problems & need serious intervention, but I'm also saying some of those problems are preventable and some more of them are caused by the health care "professionals" they put their trust in. Many of these guys are promoting (knowingly or possibly unknowingly) a lot of problems by pushing drugs (not that I'm across the board against drugs) and certain procedures.

I guess my point is: The industry has ulterior motives and nothing will be fixed until that's addressed...And frankly I think it's too deeply entrenched in our society and too many people have bought into it completely so it won't be addressed.

Alice, are you trying to tell me something by calling me "cod"jam? Do I sound fishy to you? Don't be Koi, you can tell me...:)
