Seven (7) of the Top Ten (10) most costly medicals conditions are controllable through lifestyle choices. As voters, we want Congress to allow certified Health Coaches and other certified exercise professionals to bill health insurances for their services.
Why is this important?
Seven of the top 10 most costly medicals conditions are controllable through lifestyle choices, with 1 in 3 Americans having heart disease, making it the most costly preventable medical condition (WebMD, 2013). Sadly, only the wealthy can afford to use ongoing services provided by exercise professionals. Congress should allow medical billing for access to health coaching because poor health literally destroys lives and costs jobs.
