This is a dosingenuous statement. The vast majority of americans, before ACA tripled the price of healthcare premiums were still morbidly obese.

The medical industry cannot fix an overindulgent, compulsive, lethargic lifestyle.

because it's not it's job to do so. it's job is to help people. not to dictate how people live.

Yet, he does go down the NPC talking points:

Vague reference to increasing government transparency without delineating what, exactly, this means; Check

"Tax the rich" (through non-effective middle-class crushing means); Check

Vague reference to government defense spending without acknowledging how defense spending and military research is absolutely essential to maintaining our dominant and security-providing position within the world; Check

Free Healthcare without being required to live healthier: Check

Free Education without being required to pursue needed avenues of education: too stupid to remember his own NPC dialogue tree

I hope you're not referring to me here, LOL... I did not say half of these

it's your job to help people? what if people struggle to control themselves, how do you help them?

Ya, sorry, tax money shouldn't subsidize obesity. This is harsh, but it is the only thing we can do in the present.

If my obesity was subsidized I would still be overweight and more miserable.

I'm great full as a person, my lack of privilege has engendered a harsh, but helpful sense of personal disciplen in this regard.

Lets drop a suffix in this whole discussion:

What % of YOUR health, is YOUR fault/responsibility/Obligation to cover the costs on?
And
What % of YOUR health, is eveyone else im the country's fault/responsibility/obligation to cover the costs on?

Mind you we've already had measures in place to care for the physically and mentally infirm for the past 50 years. We're talking about YOU and I here.

I dont even have insurance. Havent been able to afford it since ACA, and its cheaper to pay the penalty + buy anitbiotics from the aquatic supply store to keep in cabinet. Used to have comprehensive HMO for 93$/month before ACA with employer matching half.

They want $689 for same plan now and my own employer aint paying for it at all since its now cost prohibitive to offer said plan. He offers a shitty high deductible ppo plan now, that used to cost 35$/month without an employer match for 189$/month after employer pays half.
