President Obama enacted the Affordable Care Act as a United States Federal statute in 2010. Together with the amendment to the reconciliation bill, it promised to expand health insurance to all citizens at a reasonable cost.

Proposed Solution

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the prevalence of obesity among children has tripled from 6.5% in 1980 to 18.6% as of 2008. This is contrary to the prevalence of adults which has doubled. An effective solution for the overall problem of obesity should therefore focus more on children.

The solution involves inculcating practices and policies in schools that promote healthy habits with ...
