There is no denying that the rising cost of health care is a pressing concern for our country. Even our healthy citizens are faced with rising insurance costs. While Obamacare has been an effort to change the insurance policy it doesn't address the real problem. We are an unhealthy nation.
There is overwhelming evidence supporting the belief that active citizens are healthier citizens. Daily activity is a vital aspect of our health as a nation. Physical education is a means to prevent our health care problem rather than simply reacting to it.
Physical activity creates healthier and happier students who are also more receptive to information presented in other courses. It also results in a work force that is more efficient, productive, and uses fewer sick days.
