Diabetes and obesity are two of the biggest health problems. Children with "adult" onset of diabetes will soon overwhelm the health system in this country. I say single payer health care. That means the government. Medicare/caid, has a 3% administration. How much do the HMO's pay administrators and how much is their profit margin? Add the cost and profits of insurance companies an THERE you have it.
