New York City has been a leader in the future of healthcare. Listing calories on menus, banning soda sales in sizes larger than 16 ounces, and now requiring a designation on menus for any items with more than 2,300 mg of sodium (or a teaspoon of salt), are if you haven’t figured it out, great ideas. While it seems a bit big brother-ish, I applaud the intent.
Today’s healthcare is a losing battle. Incentives are completely misaligned. Providers get paid for dispensing care and we keep introducing better — and more expensive — solutions which are curative to health conditions that inevitably develop as we age.
