SUMMARY
The health care system in most industrialized countries is on the verge of collapse. With the rapidly aging population the situation will worsen. But while ensuring access to healthcare is an important social responsibility, it becomes more and more evident that a healthy lifestyle plays the key role in most of the chronic deseases. Therefore it makes economic and medical sense to hold us morally more responsible for our health related choices. Health is an individual responsibility!
