“Diabetics in U.S. May Double in 25 Years, Tripling Health Costs” discusses a study published today in the journal Diabetes Care.

The article continues “Without new programs to assure that people get health care to manage their condition, 44.1 million people in the U.S. will have diabetes by 2034, from 23.7 million today, the report said. The number of diabetics on Medicare, the government plan for the elderly, will reach 14.1 million from 6.5 million today.”

WATCHDOG: When will most Lancaster parents help prevent child and adult obesity by providing nutritious diets and restricting the food consumption of their children?

Is Lancaster General doing enough to promote public health, or does it welcome the business? Is the Lancaster Newspapers, Inc. and television stations doing enough to educate the public? Will the County Commissioners take the lead?

"....I have never made it a consideration whether the subject was popular or unpopular, but whether it was right or wrong; for that which is right will become popular, and that which is wrong, though by mistake it may obtain the cry or fashion of the day, will soon lose the power of delusion, and sink into disesteem." Thomas Paine, Common Sense, on "Financing the War", March 5, 1782
