Sorry Dawn, but you just don't have your facts straight. Roughly 40% of the population in overweight or obese. A study by Kaiser in 2003 (so the costs have only gone up) shows that the costs for that group was $3,000 to $5,000 more per year. That's $360,000,000,000 (yes that's billion) per year on the low end. Is coverage for illegals a problem? Yes. Does it even come close to the costs of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. cause by poor food/exercise choices? No. Not by a long shot.
