I don’t think unhealthy food is taxed more than healthy food in the US.

With a universal publicly funded healthcare system, it’s only fair to reward people who are healthy and entice people who are not to make healthier choices.

Subsidizing healthier food options and encouraging people to exercise can be a start.

You completely disregarded my point where most insurances price premiums depending on risk; which Medicare does not, besides maybe cigarets.

Education, police and firefighters should be accessible for all; and obviously abusers should be punished, as in people who burn their house on purpose.

There’s a strain on healthcare resources that is avoidable if people would just eat a bit healthier and exercise a bit more.

That’s not how it always works though, people who smoke have higher premiums for example.

People who choose to skydive are not eligible for life insurance.

People who crash their cars yearly pay more than safe drivers.

Both sides are hypocrites. Remember Nancy Pelosi getting a haircut during Covid when regular people couldn’t? Or Gavin Newsom attending a birthday party during his own lockdown?

How is Medicare funded? Healthcare costs are a lot higher for obese and overweight people.

Imagine not giving a flying fuck about downvotes, especially from the hive mind.
