Well I was "happy" to learn thanks to this evening's news that Tommy Thompson
has given his blessing to calling obesity an illness and due to this Medicare
and Medicaid will now offer treatment and subsequently other insurances will
follow.  Now here is the irony....Mr. Thompson you might help prevent this by
endorsing an Ad campaign to promote Breastfeeding so the new generation will
get all the benefits to help promote a healthy beginning and offset childhood
obesity and diabetes....and consequently you might then save millions, no
billions of dollars in the treatment of adult obseity.
Just needed to vent...
To all you at ILCA have a wonderful time and come home and share for those of
us who are covering the homefront and/or studying for the EXAM!
Have fun!
