Whole Foods aka Whole Paycheck aka Whole Health Care?

After Dr. Piedmont-Marton mentioned John Mackey's Wall Street Journal article concerning health care and healthy eating, I was curious enough to look for the article and read it myself. A full version can be found here:

After looking over the text, I can understand why people have been viewing it with mixed reactions. Essentially, Mackey argues for changes in one's lifestyle rather than changes in our health care system. He discusses the Whole Foods approach to an insurance plan, which involves "high deductibles" and "additional deposits into employees' Personal Wellness Accounts" thus giving employees more freedom in how they go about spending their money. Mackey also outlines many ways to reform health care, but boldly points out that “a careful reading of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution will not reveal any intrinsic right to health care, food or shelter.” He suggests that the major issue at stake is “poor health.” According to Mackey, adults are accountable for the effects of their choices in terms of eating, exercising, smoking, and drinking. The big question is whether making healthier choices in our daily routines will change the need for health care. Perhaps eating carrots for lunch instead of French fries will add two weeks to my life, but what about injuries from car accidents, illnesses that are hereditary or autoimmune diseases? Thoughts?
