John Hopkins recently did a study that indicated that by 2015 nearly 75% of the population will be overweight, along with the health issues that come with being obese that will help skyrocket the cost of fat peoples health care.
The problem boils down to who gets to pay for the health care of people who aren't responsible enough to eat healthy. Heart disease, diabetes, stroke and joint problems are just a few issues that are on the rise because people eat an unhealthy diet.
I just had my annual physical this morning. At 67 I'm extremely healthy, my blood pressure is normal, and all of my numbers will come back excellent as they always do. I don't do anything special-no magic pills, no whacked out specialty diet, just a little common sense. I eat healthy and avoid fast and processed food, and I also don't drink any soda pop at all.
My health care costs are very low, but I have to foot the bill through insurance for obese people who are not responsible enough to maintain a healthy weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, since I have to pay for their irresponsible behaviour I have every right to complain about their irresponsible behaviour.
Full of FAIL.
PEOPLE have the right to live as they see fit. I, nor should anyone care about your "complaints". Get off fat peoples back. You choose to eat healthy and live a healthy life style. If everyone started doing that, should we flip out cause you people are living longer and eating up medicare and social security?!?!?!?!?!?!?
If you do not like how the health care system is and insurance, Like MOST PEOPLE, BLAME the people who set it up THAT WAY. Heres an idea, go out and vote.
Now, lets not get political here.
But put down the health food and open a book.
