Financial Times Reports on Obesity

The Financial Times published an editorial commentary today that stated, "Healthcare growth is occurring across all societies, due to ageing populations and more effective, but more costly medicine, although the US suffers endemic waste due to its fragmented, market-led healthcare system..".  "The US will spend $344bn a year treating obesity - more than one health dollar out of 5".  The entire US pays the bill.  The system is already unsupportable to carry the present burden of healthcare and this added cost per year is crippling.
