HBO Weight of the Nation Clip 5: Healthcare Costs are Greatly Impacted by Obesity

This is not good news for ANYONE.  This is why small businesses can no longer afford to offer health insurance benefits to their employees.  Perhaps free gym memberships and a certain number of personal training sessions should be free through health insurance agencies as a preventative cost.  Maybe even a monthly visit to a dietician or nutritionist should be included to help people understand what healthy eating is, how to read food labels, and what to look for in the grocery store.  It's a small step but it could have a great impact on our obesity crisis.  After all, the healthier your employees are, the more productive.  And the fewer sick days they take!
