IOM Calls for Population-Level Battle Against High Blood Pressure

Time to call for a population-level battle against the IOM.

It's time to shift the burden of hypertension prevention and treatment efforts from individuals to society, according to an Institute of Medicine report.

Prevention of hypertension is in the complete control of the individual, just like overweight/obesity.

Instead of making the rest of us or the government the babysitters of the hypertensive, make the hypertensive contribute more - way more - for their care.

Then watch the hyper numbers of hypertensives go hypo.

Until then, f**k you, IOM.
