Adequate medical care so that we can help them learn more about food choice and health.

So, you're saying that Medicare isn't adequate?

 

[Marener]

So, you're saying that Medicare isn't adequate?

If you can get it. And it’s about to be harder to get too.

And even then, not the way we really need it to be.

Personally, I’d tear down the entire healthcare insurance system and rebuild it because it’s a total nightmare right now.

 

[Mac-7]

Then why don’t we outlaw all snacks and candy since it’s better for people?

Because in America people have a right to spend the money they earn as they see fit

We can advise people to eat healthy, lose weight, ect but in a free society they have a right to choose, within reason

People on food stamps do not have the right to spend our money anyway they see fit

That was the original plan of Obamacare...We see that now.

Why do you care if they make “poor choices”?

 

[Marener]

SCOTUS torpedoed that part of Obamacare. I remember before the ACA, in a lot of states it was impossible for anyone who wasn’t a child or elderly to get Medicaid.

 

[j-mac]

For the same reason you liberals wanted to go after tobacco...In the end it costs the taxpayer more. Duh.

Don’t these poor choices cost the taxpayer more regardless of whether they’re made with SNAP benefits or their own money?

 

[j-mac]

Sure they do, but, in a free country, if I use my own money to purchase products that are bad for me that's on me...Not so, if the purchase is made with taxpayer funds.

Progressive Liberals don't know the difference between your money and their money.
They have difficulty with subjects involving principles and personal responsibility as well and like to suggest whipping out the authoritarian fascism in those circumstances.

They will call you fascists if you don't let them do whatever they want with your money.

 

[Mac-7]

Why do you care if they make “poor choices”?

Because those poor choices are expensive to society

I see 300 lb women in the grocery store riding the elecyric carts filled with junk food

They are the same women who collect food stamps because they cant work

And the same people on Medicaid

I guess I just don't get why they seem to pick every unpopular side of every issue...I mean who in the hell would be against eating healthier?

This smacks of reflexive posturing to me...I swear, if Trump or his administration wanted to ban guns they would argue that we can't do that, and they've always been in favor of guns....It's dystopian.

Which is a good argument for making all junk food illegal. Right? People who eat junk food become disabled and are expensive to society.

It doesn’t matter if they used SNAP or their own money.

Exactly, because it's not like any of them have come in here preaching about how smart it would be to leave junk food eligible for SNAP benefits.

It's all about caring, and their inability to understand that caring doesn't make a damn bit of difference, if it forces you to keep supporting stupid policy and decades of failure.

 

[Marener]

But your poor choices are going to cost the taxpayer anyway, regardless of how you paid for them. Right?

No

Junk food that people buy with their own money should be legal

 

[Marener]

No

But it’s expensive to society. Maybe I don’t want my taxpayer money being spent on your poor choices. Isn’t that the idea here?

 

[j-mac]

They could, if I were to continue to make them. But, as I’ve aged, I find my taste has gone away from these types of foods. So, I don’t eat them…

But, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t ***** that we have an obesity epidemic, then argue for high fat, high sugar foods should be subsidized by the taxpayer.

 

[j-mac]

But it’s expensive to society. Maybe I don’t want my taxpayer money being spent on your poor choices. Isn’t that the idea here?

That’s true, but you’re arguing exactly for that.

Nice try

But libs dont yet control the private wealth of individuals

We do however control food stamp spending
