Health care- Co-ops Vs Public option

The Best Concession deal boils down to this: Neither side gets everything they want. The Public option Healthcare is terribly flawed for two basic reasons: First, The Public health care programs we have now, Medicaid Medicare and VA care- need an overhaul bad, and the fear is that these programs would be shoved aside and not dealt with. Second, there are no incentives, no Tax Deductions or tax breaks to encourage healthier, more responsible lifestyles. Over two thirds of Americans, including the insured are overweight and suffer related illnesses, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Want to bring healthcare costs down? Start where it all begins, at the grocery store: Just about everyone has a Store Card (Kroger's, for example): Have all Dietic/Sugarfree food ring up at a 50% discount for Seniors, the disabled and diabetics. That's what I'd call a Stimulus. The food industry would get a shot in the arm, the government would restore public confidence and the most vulnerable of our society would get the kind of food they need at an affordable price.

Healthcare questions

My husband and I just got turned down for a SNAP Food credit increase ( He's diabetic and we live on SSI). Which would you prefer: An extra $100 for dietic food, or $180,000 a month for Hospital costs if or when John has a Diabetic blackout or slips into a Coma? You already pay for his SS and VA, so you decide. If Obama wants to prevent complications associated with diabeties, obesity, heart disease and other ailments, wouldn't it make sense to issue specified food vouchers/ Dietic foods/Care boxes to VA clinics,Food pantries and other institutions that address the needs of Low income Americans? And why is it that Government Commodities ( often delivered to Non Profit Organizations) are extremely high in Sodium and Carbs?
