Dems agree on a health care guarantee for all

Prepare to get really screwed. Place cushions on all the places you sit.

I try to avoid most political commentary except as it pertains to fitness and this post should not be interpreted as an endorsement or criticism of one party over another.

Even though fitness and health are two different things, a certain consequence of nutritional unfitness, i.e., overweight/obesity, is the development of chronic medical problems.

These are the ones that are killing the sick care system, totally within the control of each of us (at least from the managing weight side) and not "curable" by sick care anyway (at statistical best, they may be controllable).

So-called "health care reform" is a boondoggle that will exacerbate the matter.

Since most of our chronic illnesses are not the result of medically amenable known causes, more money and more empty promises will not lead to a solution.

They will only follow the road of continuing failure.

Here is one approach, of which we will hear more, that will persist in draining resources without any benefit:

"Advisers to Obama and Clinton both told the party's platform meeting they were happy with the compromise, adopted without opposition or without explanation as to how health care would be guaranteed...

The party now declares itself 'united behind a commitment that every American man, woman and child be guaranteed to have affordable, comprehensive health care.'"

Of course there is no "explanation as to how health care would be guaranteed."

Because it won't.

The best you can hope for from this "initiative" is government subsidized anesthetic cream/ointment for your butthole.
