The Affordable Care Act - Implications For Fitness Facilities

The Impact Of The Affordable Health Care Act On Fitness Facilities

There is no doubt that primary prevention is key to addressing the long term cost of sick care. With over a billion people on the planet being pre diabetic today, lifestyle is THE key factor in people not being well. Enter the controversial Affordable Care Act, which reflects an attempt by policy makers to recent employer health insurance plans to increase incentives and participation in programs designed to promote improved lifestyles. I believe the dawn of a new era in fitness and wellness is here.
