My post was not about universal healthcare WTF SLY WHY DO YOU ALWAYS MOVE MY POSTS AND NOT THE “OTHER” GUYS POSTS may I speak with the manager?
Apologies When so many posts are moved sometimes stray posts can be added in. Your post was about health It was moved back to its original thread
This is what I'm looking for. Not vague suggestions of scary things which might happen. Actual evidence of direct results from supplying healthcare to the whole country. But nobody who is opposed to Universal Healthcare can provide any. At least, nobody I've been able to find. And universal healthcare can obviously be done at the same or lower cost as our current healthcare system, because every western country who has universal healthcare gets similar health outcomes as the US at a far lower cost (even the countries with higher cost of living and higher wages than the US).
Direct from this flawed article. "Unfortunately, whenever this theory has collided with reality, it’s not been a happy story. It’s hard to overstate the abject failure of soda taxes to deliver on their promised benefits. Nowhere in the world, let alone the United States, have soda taxes reduced obesity." Who said a tax on soda alone is going to reduce obesity? If that was the goal, well no shit it didn't work. If someone eats shitty food all day, switching from soda to water isn't going to do much when the food they consume is all fast food, deep fried shit food. It has to be a concerted effort on all foods and beverages that are not healthy for us. This is such a flawed article its hilarious. First. If people are paying the tax still, then raise it higher! Second, like I said, if someone eats like shit all day every day, making one out of 10 changes needed, isn't going to show much in results. This evidence provided has major flaws. This is almost like working out your legs and expecting changes to your arms. oookay....
That is exactly what cutting the processed food subsidies would do. And far simpler than any complex tax strategy. https://time.com/4393109/food-subsidies-obesity/ If you have evidence of some nutritional tax working please share it.
