You say that you are legitimately asking, so in the spirit of HN, I will assume good faith. Here is a RAND corporation whitepaper on chronic disease in the USA. Right at the top, it states that 60% of american adults have at least one chronic health condition. Obesity is also a big risk factor and we all know how many US adults have that comorbidity. http://www.fightchronicdisease.org/sites/default/files/TL221_final.pdf http://www.fightchronicdisease.org/sites/default/files/TL221...
