Previous surveys had tracked a steady growth in national BMI from 1976 to 1980, 1988 to 1994, and again from 1999 to 2000. But this study - which spans the period from 2000 to 2008 - showed no significant change. The burden of the weight gain that was documented in those other studies is not being borne evenly.

A December poll by Germany's Infratest Dimap Institute showed...
...Bigger Medicaid Tab Of the 31 million uninsured people who would gain coverage under a revamped health system, about half would do so through a vast expansion of Medicaid - the state-and-federal health care program for the poor. The Senate bill would make eligible anyone earning up to 133% of the federal poverty level (for a family of four, an income of about $29,300 a year); the House bill would lift that threshold to 150% of poverty (or about $33,000 for a family of four...
