While we’re all talking about how — and how much — to pay for medical care, here’s one more item to chew on. If obesity can be caused by a virus, then it might also be prevented with a vaccine. And if a company ever develops one, imagine that marketing campaign. And the fight over how much the vaccine should cost, and who should pay for it.
Of course, the cost-savings in the long-term could be enormous.
