Wellness for Less?

In this economy everyone is focusing on how to cut costs. Commercials on TV are a great example of that. Have you noticed WalMart’s campaign? They started advertising living better while spending less. Car dealers offer years with no interest. And just yesterday I went shopping and found that every store was having a great sale.

That’s why it didn’t surprise me when I read about another group – doctors – speaking out about how to cut costs -- health care costs.

These doctors in a recent article in the New York Times had some great ideas to offer. My favorites are nutrition counseling and stop overtreatment (see recent post about my hypochondriac cousin). What do you think of their ideas? And I’d love to hear some of yours.
