According to the national health department, the U.S. is in for a big problem. Many adults and now children in the U.S. are obese. In china they already made a law against having workers that are obese. This is because it caused more for the work to pay for health insurance for someone who is “fat” because then they are more likely to have a heart attack, and other health issues. Anybody who is obese or overweight in china will be laid off of work. This is bad news for some people that live over there. Many Chinese blame their sudden increase in weight on the new McDonalds that were put in many Chinese cities. However, here in the U.S. they would not be able to pass such a law. Mostly, because there are just too many obese people. To put it short, we have let the overweight problem get very out of hand.
Other issues that the national health department is dealing with in the U.S. are the H1N1 vaccine. Many people want to get vaccinated “just in case” something is to happen to them. However, the common flu kills more people each year than the swine flu does. This is not something that you should be too worried about. Especially, because as long as you wash your hands regularly, stay hydrated, and are not already sick, your body will more than likely fight it off itself. Sometimes, it is good to not always go to medicine first, and let your body do its magic.
