Because they do physical labor all day long and grow all of their own food.

The amount of meat and butter they consume is off the chain.

I’m not convinced meat and butter are that bad for the health. Commonly eaten 50 years ago when there was less disease? I think most of the heart issues seen back then were due to smoking not necessarily saturated fat.

I think seed oils and sugar are worse than meat and butter

There was not necessarily less disease but less diagnosis. You think medical assessment and diagnostics were the same 50 years ago? Don't confuse increased diagnosis with increased disease. The assessment here is complicated. Also, if you died earlier in your 50s or 60s, then sure you wouldn't count in the chronic disease metric.

Meat and butter are far better for you than artificial, chemically-infused food. Obesity didn’t explode the last few decades because of lifestyle.

Newsflash, bud, not every corporate job offers insurance. I'm with a small business right now and they are not required to offer insurance nor do they. I have to pay OOP for that. I pay a LOT OOP each month for a crappy ACA plan ($425/mo with an $8k deductible).

Am I looking for another job that offers insurance? Sure am and have been for about a year. It's brutal out there.

And the job I had before this one that offered insurance, guess what happened to it? The company outsourced their Finance department to India.

Wtf does that even mean: right to healthcare?

Healthcare exists?

Healthcare is free?

Healthcare is highly subsidized by someone?

Healthcare is unlimited?

Healthcare is immediate?

Healthcare treatment is effective?

Healthcare is the same regardless of age or health?

Healthcare allows me to show up at Dr or ER and get tested asap?

Doctors dictate the healthcare needed? Govt? Me? National insurance politician?

Healthcare drugs are free or highly subsidized and readily available?

Healthcare doctors, nurses and PA are abundant everywhere?

Healthcare is funded by and taxed to W-2 workers? VAT? Employers? Patients?

Who has skin in the game here? No one?

I’m here in Trump country, says so on the yard billboard sign I passed by on my way to the beach.

I’m here now, stocking up on groceries for the week, one thing that is very clear, is that, if you take away the Mega MAGA’s ho-hos, ding dongs, Doritos and 2 liter sodi-pop, and try to make them eat vegetables, there will be Jan. 6 style riots up in the heart of Trump-Landia.

ironically, the WaPo today has a story discussing a new inner city hospital and the heavy patient load it sees of people afflicted with diabetes and heart disease. Those are diet/exercise-related conditions for many people, implying that voluntary lifestyle choices are the root cause of that inner city population's health problems and consequent need for and consumption of health care.

Which population needs more health care, and why? Who pays for each population's health care?

Invest in holistic doctors and naturopaths. They’re willing to do longer consults and really take the time to study you and since they don’t get much customers, they are flexible with payment plans

Pushing pills is all they can do in their allotted 15 minute visit mandated by insurance companies.

It means, for example:
Everyone benefits from an educated populace,
Everyone benefits from an populace with access to decent healthcare,
Everyone benefits from a public service infrastructure that, say, fights fires, or chases bank robbers, or maintains roadways, or makes certain foods and medicines are safe to consumer, and so on...

Now, and stay with me here, as a corollary, everyone suffers from the absence of those things. In the case of healthcare, for example, even if you're healthy, having lots of people who aren't healthy is ultimately going to affect you, negatively, one way or the other. If children can't go to school, or if people can't eat, guess what, you will be affected, directly or indirectly, sooner or later, probably sooner.

A rising tide lifts all boats... and a receding/lowering one lowers all boats.

If you think about it, it's sort of a Christian concept: Care about other people (if only for the reason that not caring about others will ultimately mean their hardships come back on you, at some point, in some way.) It's also just a nice way to be, but it's a practical one, too.


Depends on how they have been educated and what they are educated in.
