When anybody discusses health care in america I am always surprised with the one thing that they don't mention.
A very big reason heath care is so expensive is also because americans are so fucking unhealthy. We are fat and lazy. Nobody exercises. And the majority of shit thinly disguised as food that we do put in our bodies are toxic.
So I think for anybody who wants free health care, here is a solution (and free). Why don't we all put down the Doritos, stop going to fast food joints and start exercising for 45 minutes a day and try to prevent poor heatlh. After all, if we all started getting healthy, health care costs would go down.
No I know it's a pipe dream to think we as americans want to assume any personal responsability regarding our own health. But when one is 60 and looks back on their life and sees that they ate like shit, barely did any form of exercise. Don't be shocked if you're broke, in a wheel chair looped up on a ton of drugs with a few months to live.
Now... where did I put my remote control, because there is no way I am getting up from the couch to change the channel. :)
