The World Has Cancer (and nobodys talking about it)

According to this article posted by the Associated Press on MassLive.com, "President Barack Obama is putting forward a nearly $1 trillion, 10-year health care plan that would allow the government to deny or roll back egregious insurance premium increases that infuriated consumers."

In the Western World of medicine, everyone is required to have health insurance. Without it, when we get sick we won't be able to pay for the drugs and high technology required to make us healthy again. However, the implication here is that we will get sick. And this is true.

But what if our "health insurance" wasn't insurance for the money we will need to buy the drugs and pay the companies that run this system of "health care" but rather insurance that we will live in a healthier world and therefore are safer from becoming sick in the first place?

Will $1 trillion dollars be enough to support the populations rising concern for healthy living? Or should our health care reform consider health as much more than an individual's issue, so we can start getting better together, before its too late.
