Former President Bill Clinton said Friday that disasters such as worldwide famine and an obesity epidemic could destroy the U.S. health care system unless politicians begin to look ahead and cooperate. He went on to say governments fail to act even when disasters are anticipated, because leaders are distracted by fulfilling campaign promises and scrambling to respond to immediate emergencies. Big-picture planning gets "crowded out," he said. Clinton warned presidential candidates of both parties — a group that includes his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton –- that it will be hard, and likely unpopular, to prepare for foreseeable disasters.
