I really think health care costs in the US are a byproduct of Americans obsession with convenience. Most lifestyles can be lived without any physical activity - the whole country is designed around the car. Traveling around a bit I've seen other cultures still require people to walk somewhat to get places and people will also just go on "walks" whereas Americans will go for a "drive" Food culture is also responsible, just jamming food into your face as quickly as possible rather than enjoying a meal is for sure and American thing. Add all this up and you get 60% obesity rates in adults and getting worse.
