Column: Lynch has little time to complete bold agenda
If people see the doctor regularly, if more residents exercise and eat a moderate diet, the population will be healthier. Medical economists reckon that the cost of health care will decline. "We must focus on helping people stay healthy, and on their taking responsibility for keeping themselves healthy," the governor said.
Lynch seeks to order health insurance companies in the state to offer wellness programs. Insurers would be mandated to pay for exercise programs and diet classes as well as frequent checkups that could diagnose a disease before it becomes serious.
Who wouldn't like this? Insurance companies. Insurers oppose government mandates, saying that they drive up medical costs. Already overworked doctors, who lose money if they see patients for longer than 15 minutes, will like the idea, but might be reluctant to use valuable clinical time for wellness.
Overuse plagues young athletes
ST. LOUIS -- Elaine Gill, 16, wanted to run faster. So she started running more. A lot more. Sometimes she'd run 50 miles a week.At first the extra miles paid off, and Elaine cut several minutes off her 5K cross country time. Then, during a race, a bone in her foot broke. Now, she can't run at all.Such is the plight of a growing number of athletes, both male and female, who train their young bodies past the point of diminishing returns and right into injuries. The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that more than 30 million children and teens participate in organized sports each year. Of those, about 3.5 million seek treatment for overuse injuries and chronic fatigue from overtraining. Though no data exist, local sports medicine specialists say they've seen a steady increase in the number of injured and over-trained athletes between ages 8 and 18 by as much as 25 percent in recent years.Experts attribute that increase to more and more children specializing in only one sport and playing it year-round for school, select and traveling teams.
