Sometimes Weight Does Matter

scrappybadger February 1st, 2008

But not in the way that most people would have us believe.

As I drove to my morning classes today I heard a report on NPR that pointed the finger at high priced medical equipment as being the number one cause of rising health care costs. (I would like to include a link to the clip from Morning Edition, but I couldn’t find the story in the archives.)

You can’t turn around these days without hearing about the dum-duh-duuuuuh Obesity EPIDEMIC.* What’s worse, fat people are being blamed for skyrocketing health care costs while insurance companies and high priced specialists sit back counting their money. Nowhere in the typical fat-is-horrible-and-scary story are these or other issues mentioned. The NPR blurb just goes to show that, of course, the issue is never as simple as so many make it seem.

Oh, and those overweight medical machines obviously need to go on a diet.

* I swear, one of these days I will record an audio file to do that for me.
