However, there are no easy solutions when 47 million Americans are uninsured citizens. That's how many we know about; there are probably many more that are undocumented. Although most of these plans show a definite move in the right direction—toward affordable options for everyone—they all seem to be leaving out a very important element: health and how we live our lives. There may be no appropriate way to legislate how we live our lives—what and how and when we eat, sleep, exercise, work, and restore ourselves—but how difficult would it be for these healthcare proposals to encourage a discussion about our lifestyles? For a model, we can look at the green living movement. While green living is not legislated, the movement toward sustainability is coming from every aspect of government, and it's aimed at getting this country, its people and environment, healthier. Perhaps we're not at the point at which health and heath care can be addressed in the same package. But we must foster an environmentally clean, safe, and healthy way of living, or even the best of health care plans won't matter.
