"Steps
to a Healthier US" initiative.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson said,
The
nation's insurance companies were "wrong-headed" because they
emphasized treating illness rather than preventing disease and then announced
a $125 million initiative to prevent diabetes, obesity and asthma. The
program will prevent diabetes for at least 75,000 Americans and obesity for
at least another 100,000 Americans.
