big ideas

so--- in the states, there is that whole "obamacare" thing.

basically- you need to have health insurance.

personally, I don't have health insurance right now. Why? Because it's cheaper to not have it.
"THAT'S CRAZY, LN! EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"

well, if I had cobra, that would be 500$ a month. (yes, it's tax deductable... sorta.)
if i broke a bone and paid out of pocket that's 2500$.
CATCH! my cobra didn't work in the state of washington. (only in MD).
so... my insurance was kinda worthless anyway.


now--humor me for a second:
currently there is a government mandate to lower our energy usage. So any programs/apps/things out there that help you lower your energy usage (my dad is making an app called "dropoly") it's government sponsored.

Will they do the same for health/fitness?
If you join a gym/prove that you exercise 3x a week, your insurance price will go down (or your gym membership will be free).

help me think of why this hasn't happened yet.
