northfork, w.va. — Another morning, another list of patients and problems in the hands of 35-year-old Keisha Saunders. Diabetes, depression, heart disease. Robert needs lower blood pressure. Buffy needs prescriptions filled. Mary needs to lose 50 pounds, so she can get what she really needs, a new hip.

Americans do need to be better educated on healthy lifestyle choices, but chronic health conditions can arise in otherwise healthy people too. I don't think you should be so quick to judge lest you find yourself in that situation some day.
