Disability...*sigh*
Some people I know who are on it, have health problems because of poor decisions (drug abuse, addiction, over eating, etc). Taxes ought to go towards prevention...which [according to a recent seminar] involves:
*Public health campaigns more effective than fastfood campaigns
*Urban development which involved sidewalks, parks, and playgrounds to encourage safe activity
*General health practitioner policy changes which gives docs more time with patients (better quality healthcare)
*Proper food labeling in restaurants
*Lowering prices for healthy options, while increasing prices for unhealthy options
*Better access to health clinics and grocery stores in rural, as well as low-income urban environments
