45. Public health programs today are bad
Very few are based on scientific evidence and they obviously ignore the increasing lack of access to health care and growing numbers of uninsured.

Much of the message today is focused on "smoking cessation" programs as many public health departments are heavily reliant on funds from the Tobacco Settlement.

And yes, they do distort statistics.
