President Obama prevention of obesity and inactive lifestyles in healthcare reform Video

One of the biggest problems we face in healthcare reform or reducing health care costs stems from the fact that 70% of the public does not engage in the necessary amount of exercise to maintain a healthy body mass, by which has an adverse effect in fueling chronic diseases including several forms of asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Moreover, it has also has an adverse effect on many other health-related conditions including arthritis, back and knee injuries, incontinence for women, sexual dysfunction in men, and pregnancy complications for women and their babies. In order to minimize these diseases and conditions caused by being overweight and/or not exercising and to reduce healthcare expenses, it will be critical for all us, meaning everyone, to exercise enough to maintain a healthy waistline by engaging in vigorous exercise, if we will ever be able to afford universal healthcare for all Americans without bankrupting the country. We think we can help millions of Americans with their exercise regimen, but we need help from the government.
