More on Health Care Issues

While not really "exercise" this is something that exercise is directly related to so I will continue to put out thoughts about them. I am constantly looking at different opinions and articles on this issue and find or am directed to many that express some interesting points.
This first is one that is close to irrefutable about how obesity increases health care costs. It also mentions childhood obesity:

This second one is one that my brother sent to me. It shows how the "Greatest" country in the world doesn't have the "greatest" success in health care, BY FAR! It gives some interesting numbers as to why we NEED reform:
