Individual Responsibility
In the past the major causes of disease were out of the individuals’ control. Today, most health issues are avoidable or can be minimized by individual action. Each individual is his or her best “doctor.”
![Page 20: Julia M. Eckstein, Director Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568139c0550346895da165e3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Chronic Illness
80¢ of every health care dollar is spent on chronic disease.
DHHS

The question is NOT how do we deliver health care to 300 million Americans,
it is how do we keep America HEALTHY?
