• The U.S. population as a whole is a nation of people with multiple chronic diseases like HTN and DM and obesity. The consequences of several lifestyle choices contribute to the high cost of chronic care.
• The U.S. healthcare system does not seem to work as well as other healthcare systems in the world.
