Hey jidf shill you are still on biz :^)

>>2786300
Your brain may have completely melted from seeing nothing people pushing their shitcoins on you. However, this is a pretty relevant thread for this board even though it may not be popular. Unsure how not being a fat fuck like you makes me Jewish though.

IM ONLY OBESE BECAUSE OF MY GENETICS ITS NOT FAIR THAT YOU GET TO PAY LESS BECAUSE OF YOUR GENETIC PRIVILEGE

>>2786428
Genetics do matter. I had to watch skinny fuck eat twice what I eat and stay skinny

If this is a generic trait then it should be killed off from the population for the sake of humanity.

Really though, growing up as the "skinny" guy (a normal BMI) around fat people I got that a lot. In reality, I only ate that much for the occasion and 95% I eat a normal amount. There's no super-human metabolism. Basically, swallow less food and weight will go away.

>>2786256
Why is the south so fat compared to the rest of the US?

Just self insure. I've saved 50k over the past 10 years simply by refusing to buy health insurance.

>Why are we still trying accept pre-existing conditions with health insurance?

Because I'm not a monster and I wouldn't want any of my family to die of cancer. Just because there's a ton of fat fucks out there doesn't mean you get to dick over people with genuine issues outside of their control

>>2787283
It's out of my control that I was born in the shithole that is Africa instead of as the child of Bill Gates. Does that mean I should get handouts?

>>2786256
You think this is just about being fat?

What if someone has cancer, loses their job, then needs to self-fund health insurance? They die. They have a pre-existing condition.

Is this fair?

I really hate how conservatives have decided that human empathy and basic respect for human life itself is a partisan issue. It's reprehensible

>>2787308
What if someone gets run over with a car? They die. Let's ban all cars.

I'm guessing OP's opinion on this matter will change drastically once he is an "old fuck who refuses to die"

>>2787308
wow an American with common sense, though those didn't exist in the wild

>>2787312
That's not even remotely an equal comparison. You're a fucking retard. I hate you, honestly, you pull the world down. You fucking idiots with retarded ideas.

>>2787337
If people get bad luck that's their own fucking problem. Others shouldn't have to bail them out.

>>2787351
Do you understand the concept of a society and how we're all working together to try to make the country as a whole a healthier and more productive place to live?

Why do you conservatives have this every-man-for-himself, no-matter-what mindset? I don't comprehend it. It seems to me that the primary defining characteristic of conservatives nowadays is a complete and utter lack of any basic human dignity and respect for others, as well as empathy. Prove me wrong, please, but that's what I and many others have been observing over and over

You're shit

I will gladly pay a bit more taxes so that people who get unlucky can have healthcare. Are you so fucking greedy that you can't pay your fair share back into the very system that you benefit from?

>>2786591
HSA's for the win.

>>2787375
Yes, reducing the consequences of being unhealthy will surely convince people to be healthier!

>>2787375
Wow - an anon with some compassion AND brains. Underrated post.

>>2787381
>reducing the consequences of being unhealthy

He's arguing about supporting people who can't do anything to prevent their conditions and you know it

>>2787381
You think the fact that some people don't take care of their health means we should help nobody? You understand that the vast majority of people, no matter how active and healthy a lifestyle they live, suffer severe health issues at some point in their lifetime, right?

This is the same argument I hear from conservatives over and over again - some people will abuse the system, so it's not even worth providing it to anyone at all even if those who genuinely need it suffer

This is a short sighted and unethical viewpoint that seems to me to be based more on a desire for some sort of abstract revenge against fat people than it is based on any real economic or ideological opposition to healthcare.

>>2787391
And you can't support those people without also supporting the lazy fat fucks and alcoholics responsible for most of the cost of the system. Good thing I never have to deal with this bullshit because I self insure and pay the measly Obamacare penalty instead of thousands in premiums every year for insurance I will get pennies on the dollar back in returns.

We aren't trying to accept anything. We are forced to by parasitic voters who use the state as their proxy mob goon to extort us.

But that's all going to change right lads?

No more central banking for us!

And no more paying taxes!

Who's with me?

Part of the issue is that fucking echo chambers like 4chan allow retards like this to have their viewpoints reinforced by others. That's why you see those idiotic Nazis who deny the holocaust and the like. This place is fucking disgusting and I don't even know why I come here anymore.

But the saddest part is that even if you step away from the cesspit that is 4chan, lots of Americans share these viewpoints. And ironically, lots of the people who share these viewpoints are the people who need healthcare the most. Rural poor people who tend to seemingly unknowingly vote against their own interests

Christians who vote for politicians who espouse views that are literally diametrically opposed to everything Jesus preached

What the fuck is going on in this world. I'm just a simple autist tending my memes and trying to make some crypto gains, but in my heart I feel like I want to devote every second of my life to becoming President of the US so I can fucking fix this shit. But I know I can't. Why are things the way they are.

Why are so many people basing their viewpoints on fallacies, misinformation, bigotry, and hate? It's disturbing, it's absurd - is this really the timeline I live in?

Fuck this gay Earth and fuck you selfish conservatives.

cancer versus being 500 lbs due to your own lack of any shred of common sense isn't even a reasonable comparison.

if i'm HEALTHY, keep myself in shape, don't smoke or do anything wild I shouldn't have to pay a ton. fat fucks should have to pay more so they realize it's not worth being a piece of shit.

>>2787447
Okay why is weight the only thing you can talk about?

What about healthy people who did the right things but got cancer? What about people with a family history of heart disease and even if they eat right they get it?

You're so fucking dumb it hurts my brain

>>2787456
What if you get run over by a car? What if you get shot by a supreme gentleman? What if the stocks you invested in suddenly crash? What if you are born in a poor family? YOU FUCKING DEAL WITH IT.

>>2787461
>Bad things can happen so we shouldn't help anyone who suffer very common bad things related to health and should just let them die so that health insurance company executives can get bigger bonuses
You're a fucking uncivilized retard, get the hell out of my civilization and go live in your libertarian/anarchy fantasy inna woods cuck

>>2787487
Don't tell me what to do. I'll do whatever I want, which is not subsidizing fat fucks.

Your the one who wants to take peoples money by force to redistribute to your liking. Do it with your own money, not others.

>>2787415
You don't know what anyone else's interests are. Eat shit.

>>2787375
A bit more in taxes? I appreciate your empathy, but look at socialised medical systems and you will see it is not 'a bit more' in taxes. It is A LOT more. Not saying it shouldn't be done, but it is a lot of money.

>>2787602
Get these conservative "free market anti-regulation" politicians who actually regulate more to secure monopolies for their crony friends, out of healthcare and costs could come down 50%

>>2786441
You are just plain wrong

>>2787308
>Conservatives don't want healthcare reform
>Implying abortion is basic respect for human life

Two can play the assumption game.
You can have universal private healthcare through individual mandates, and this is optimal as compared to universal Medicaid

>>2787308
Your idea of a solution is equivalent to putting a band-aid gangrene foot.

>>2786256
>obesity is the only preexisting condition
>people should be killed before they grow old and sick
nice bait faggot

>>2787375
You do realise you don't actually care right, you just think it sounds good and right. You're just swept up in virtue signaling politics. The free market can handle health care better than any government.

>fat fucks with a myriad of health concerns?

Obesity doesn't really cost much

>All the old fucks who have refused to die for the past 20 years

The old fucks who are still alive have and are paying wayyy more taxes than you you fucking ignorant millennial snowflake

>>2787660
>The free market can handle health care better than any government
kek, private healthcare is easily the most bloated and dysfunctional industry that exists today

>>2787415
I know what's best for you poor losers. Let the government decide how you live your life.

>>2787662
Want to know why? Because they have cushy jobs and pensions that they built into the system for themselves that WE are paying for

Source: I make way more money than you and pay way more taxes you pathetic wagecuck

>>2787456
What's stoping these people from being prepared?

The only way to be a fat shit is to have : input>output.

Body mass don't create by itself.

If you diminish the input you loose weight.

Everytime i see a fat shit (public transports etc), the fat shit is drinking or eating.

>>2787660
>The free market can handle health care better than any government.

Is that why we pay exorbitant prices on medical supplies in the US while the countries that make actual agreements with and competition between distributors for specific supplies pay a fuckton less?

>>2787699
I'm not exactly well versed in the medical industry but I do know the U.S. always has the most state of the art medical equipment. There's a reason rich from all over the world come to America for medical treatment (including socialist Europe).

>>2787699
>thinks a government regulated industry is comparable to an unregulated industry
>is this much of a faggot

>>2787699
Do you honestly think you're paying free market prices in the us? The problem doesn't lie within the industry itself but the bloated goverment that enables it.

>>2787456
is cancer the only thing you can talk about reddit fag?

Not surprised.

Who the fuck is getting denied medical treatment? Even the illegal beaners who cross our border get healthcare. How the fuck are you so fat, lazy, and inept that you can't get healthcare if you are an American citizen.

No, I do care, and it is good and right.

It's not virtue signalling. I literally voted in my county's special election today, and guess what - I voted in favor of a new tax to help fund the arts and education, and voted all Democrat knowing they are more likely to raise taxes than the other candidates

Stop assuming that because you're a heartless sociopath, everyone else must be.

>Obese men rack up an additional $1,152 a year in medical spending, especially for hospitalizations and prescription drugs, Cawley and Chad Meyerhoefer of Lehigh University reported in January in the Journal of Health Economics. Obese women account for an extra $3,613 a year. Using data from 9,852 men (average BMI: 28) and 13,837 women (average BMI: 27) ages 20 to 64, among whom 28 percent were obese, the researchers found even higher costs among the uninsured: annual medical spending for an obese person was $3,271 compared with $512 for the non-obese.
