Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The United States has the worst health outcomes of any country in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The more money we throw at the problem, the worse it gets, and we haven’t solved it yet. #2 The epidemic of metabolic syndrome affects all ages, races, and creeds, but people are still making money off of it. The price of insulin has tripled in just one decade, and many patients have to choose between paying for their medicine or their food or their electricity. #3 There is a correlation between the number of visits to an HMO doctor and increasing weight gain in the population. The average American’s weight is up, health is down, and wallet is underwater. #4 Modern Medicine is based on the idea that people live longer today than they did a hundred years ago, and that people who are healthy live longer than people who are not. But is that really the case.
