100% Medicare for All! But I have to take a bit of an issue with the intro framing of “motivations and incentives” to “keep costs down,” and the idea that we’re going to reduce healthcare costs by being thinner and exercising more. It 1) ignores the multitude of factors that cause obesity, 2) presumes that obesity determines health (it doesn’t), 3) presumes that health is a matter of individuals working harder at it, and 4) it ignores the multitude of causes of illness, many of which are out of an individual’s control.
Another banger as usual 👍🏻
You are too kind, thank you!

The key phrase; your health over their profits.
Your housing over their profits
Your education over their profits
Your needs over their profits
It doesn't stop there;
The truth over their profits
Human rights over their profits
The environment over their profits
