The story making headlines this morning is the report in the New England Journal of Medicine that several life & disability insurance companies invest billions of dollars into tobacco company stock. This seems to cross obvious moral and ethical lines, suggesting an attitude of "dollars over principles", but I'll leave further commentary to others.The take home message here: You are in charge of your health.
The last thing I want is for readers to become absorbed in a "the evil world is out to get you" kind of attitude. I just want us all to realize that no one else; no 3rd party, insurer, friend or professional will care about your health as much as you will.
Be empowered. Take ownership. Take control of your health. No one else will do it for you.
