Journal 3 Prompt: In “New Rule: You Can't Complain About Health Care Reform If You're Not Willing to Reform Your Own Health” (eR), comedian and commentator Bill Maher argues that elephant in the living room in the health care debate is the health (or lack thereof) of the American public. Bill Maher, as others have argued, points to the fact that our skyrocketing health care costs are, at least in part, due to American’s overwhelmingly unhealthy lifestyles. Indeed, the statistics are startling: According to the American Heart Association, the number of obese and overweight Americans includes 23 million children (between the ages 2-19) and 145 million adults (ages 20 and above). Yet, politicians are more likely to lay blame on the evils of government and the health care and food industries. Rarely, will politicians ask Americans to improve their own habits. Why? Is Bill Maher correct that health care reform starts with us, or are there larger issues, beyond an individual’s control, at play?
