hahahahaha holy shit

And again I'll say, that's not how it works. Each pound put in the NHS brings returns in tax revenue greater than a pound without needing to put taxes up.

People can work longer, and more reliably when they are healthy.

You're just wrong there.

Holy shit people are dumb. He really thinks spending more money on Healthcare will just infinitely boost their economy.

think the best strategy is to tax the causes. We already tax cigarettes. We should do the same for highly processed food. Maybe even use the taxes generated to subsidise the base ingredients for lower income families.

The "regressive taxes are bad" folks the second any personal responsibility based problem comes up

tax unhealthy food

I hate Redditors so much.

Or. Financial incentives to lose weight. Which I think is a debate we should have

Living longer and better QOL isn't reason enough

Rumors of govenrment proposing a new solution

Well of course the British are going to have so many fatties, their currency is even called the "pound" !carlos

It's not my fault I'm fat!

The problem with restricting NHS treatment to people with certain health conditions /lifestyle choices is that the argument can apply to lots of other circumstances too.

Do we start refusing treatment to smokers?

People who take part in extreme sports?

Health insurance costs already vary based on age, even if you're healthy, and you can't do anything about getting old. Why shouldn't fatsos, smokers and r-slurs who like jumping from cliffs pay more?

Force them to take Ozempic shots

Ngl I think the reality is that state sponsored healthcare is just unsustainable, and without a financial/cultural incentive not to, people will bleed it dry for their personal benefit.

Some American companies have started paying people to work out because it reduces insurance premiums. That might be the future.

Novo Nordisk promised me total fatty death

Kill ALL fats and boomers

As usual, weightsigmas dismantle communism.
