'Staring over the edge': South Carolina measles outbreak doubles in a week
More than 500 people are in a 21-day quarantine and about 200 are "actively infected." The largest outbreak currently in the U.S. has spread to at least three other states.www.nbcnews.com
Dr. Eliza Varadi, a pediatrician in private practice in South Carolina, said the outbreak is centered around a community largely populated by people who immigrated from Ukraine to Spartanburg County within the past few decades. Many came to the U.S. with a level of vaccine distrust based on their experiences under Soviet control, said Varadi, who is originally from Russia. She hasn't treated patients in the current outbreak but provides care for many families from Russia and Ukraine.

The share of Americans medically obese is projected to rise to almost 50% by 2035
A new study found that by 2035, almost 50% of Americans will be medically obese. In 1990, that number was just 20%. Nonwhite Americans are much more likely to suffer.www.latimes.com

The Trump effect
I think the gubmint should subsidize "the fat pill" that Trump talks about. Small price to pay to save on healthcare costs across the board.It’s more than the trumpy effect.
An employee who works for the same company as I do is very liberal. She is always crying about her insulin costing a couple of hundred per month and it’s not her fault she got diabetes as a teenager.
The woman is 5 foot 2 and weighs 400 pounds and she says that she’s always been overweight.
If not for HR I would tell her to eat a salad and walk more than just to the fridge
