Healthcare Premiums Soar

[pknopp]

Very true. This is why I haven't seen a doctor for quite a while. My last fast food was four years ago. I move around a lot rather than a sedentary life. My last meal at the restaurant was almost a year ago. People have a choice.

I am 64. I have gone at least once a year since turning 50. Another way one can see after themselves.

What you eat and your lifestyle can worsen the situation.

It can but you are still born with it.

It can but you are still born with it.

Born with it but why not try something different and take a chance? The American fruits and veggies diet are always the same, lettuce, cabbage, salad, carrots, tomatoes, apples, oranges, pear, etc. Why not try to eat exotic fruits and veggies for a change?

I have no problem with that but even healthy people get cancer.

Many issues are genetic. Not a thing you can do about that. There is a reason you are asked about your family history.

Alcoholism runs in my family. I don't drink any more but drank a lot back in the day. I never became an alcoholic as did many others in my family. So there's that.

I'm afraid there's more to it than that. The body is a machine that has certain strict requirements for health. People treat it like it was a garbage disposer.

True but why not take a chance? I told my coworkers that I eat weeds grown in my backyard and the first reaction is like ewwwww...

That's great. I can drink two beers and quit. An entire life should not be about denial over everything.

Just speaking generically, not about your situation.

I'm about 15lbs heavier than I would like. At my age it becomes hard to lose weight.

ACA or "Obamacare" is a disaster. They were told it would be but they wouldn't listen. Now people are hurting.

There's nothing the left can't mess up. Absolutely nothing

FLASHBACK: Ted Cruz predicts ballooning Obamacare subsidies now at center of shutdown fight

Sen. Ted Cruz's decade-old Obamacare warning appears to be coming true amid the current government shutdown fight.

Why do you suppose they are fighting so hard for the subsidies brought on during covid to be extended

I have no issue with whatever it is you want to eat.

There's always more but the oh well attitude is a problem with this country. The US is perhaps the most obese country on earth.

No worries. Not all overweight persons are unhealthy.

It sucks but so would what we would have (or not have) without it.

Negative it was cheaper and better!

I think it's evidence of mental disorders.

It sucked for those who had to do without.

Why is that the tax payers fault

 

[Couchpotato]

People want to get their crap here. It will get here.

Unless it's stolen enroute or blown up. Everyone is worried about the tariffs driving costs up that will be nothing in comparison.

Just noting that wasn't the conversation at the time.

It's literally the entire problem. Just saying well everyone should have it and it should great and free and did I say great? Doesnt solve the problem.

Oddly I never said it would.

You implied it.

Watch those space aliens also. Can't trust them.

I never said free so I dismiss your false narrative.

So want amnesty for illegals and to give them “free” healthcare that their employers will pay for. They would then get at least minimum wage, right? Remind us again the point of having borders and the value of having citizenship in the US.

These foreign nationals that come to the US for jobs are leaving countries that have free healthcare. How about billing those countries for the healthcare that these migrants are receiving in the US?

Nobody has free Healthcare.
