The Healthcare debate, Deepak says Prevention!

Couple of very interesting points..including...

The majority of medical costs go to treating three conditions: obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. As this society grows fatter, older, and less likely to exercise regularly, all three will rise, and yet sensible prevention would go a long way to halt or reverse that trend.
Er, so i think this is the polite Indian way of saying "Start moving, and eat better!!".
