Keeping people healthy and better managing chronic conditions is the only way we will stem health care costs.

Dallas and Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) January 6, 2010 -- In the 2009 health care reform wrap-up of the year, prominent pollster Frank Luntz put Chris Fey, CEO U.S. Preventive Medicine, to task as he shared the CEO's personal video statement of prevention as the answer to health care reform with Hannity America's studio audience, challenging them as to whether they feel prevention is a viable solution to the healthcare crisis.

In the featured segment (see the full version here on www.MoreGoodYears.com ), Fey contends that Americans should increase their focus on preventing illness by taking proactive steps to stay healthy.

The Hannity America spot highlighted Fey's personal health story (he lost his father to colon cancer just days after his first birthday) as the catalyst for the creation of The Prevention Plan, U.S. Preventive Medicine's flagship product. The Prevention Plan is a suite of services for preventing disease, managing health conditions and helping people navigate the health care system.

The Hannity America audience overwhelmingly supported Fey's vision for proactive health care. One focus group participant said, "It will cost the government less in the long run if we focus more on prevention efforts rather than trying to fix the sick."

A preventive health care entrepreneur, Fey's vision began more than 50 years ago after the loss of his father. Fey founded U.S. Preventive Medicine, an independent provider of wellness, chronic condition management, concierge, care advocacy, and executive health services -- all based on the clinical science of preventive medicine.

Fey felt the positive response from the audience echoed the growing support in the United States for a proactive approach to health care. "As our movement has advanced, we have been heartened to find strong bipartisan support for our prevention initiatives," said Fey. "Our company has been active on Capitol Hill and in state capitals across the country to help lawmakers on both sides of the aisle understand how to develop a culture of wellness in the United States. Keeping people healthy and better managing chronic conditions is the only way we will stem health care costs."
