Key to Healthcare Costs Is to Better Treat Chronically Ill

Reader Comments

Back to article

The chronically ill account for the largest part of healthcare costs. Chronic illness is driven by poor lifestyle choices, i.e., mindless eating, sedentary lifestyle and smoking. What is needed is behavioral change. This is more of a leadership problem, how to get people to change behavior than a medical problem who to treat the disease or condition. Both leadership and medical treatment need to be combined but the emphasis needs to be on leadership, not medicine.
