As important as it is to achieve universal healthcare, we also have to ask ourselves why we have so many more chronic illnesses than they do in other advanced countries. 1/2

As long as Big Food and Big Ag dominate our farming and food supply, chemical companies are allowed to poison our green spaces and fossil fuel and defense industries pollute our environment, no healthcare system will ever be able to get ahead of the damage they cause. 2/2

Um Obesity?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes ... Great Question!
Replying to @marwilliamson @krystalball
Lifestyle related diseases are the glaringly obvious greatest issue, type 2 diabetes being in the lead. The population (on average) is substantially overweight and slothful. Same applies to the UK. Being "healthy at any size" is an ignorant, massive own goal.

I spent 20 days in Spain in February 2016 and lost 10lbs without any dieting whatsoever. Overseas you can spot the Americans, they are the fat people. We’re being poisoned and we don’t have ready access to health services. Our system is a giant crock of cr@p.

We don't invest enough in affordable healthcare. Instead, we invested in our health industry

We aren’t really advancing anymore… just the wealthy.

Stress!!! We work too much and cost of living in cities is extremely high. College debt is horrible for people. Stress is killing us.

I don't understand universal health Care it's unnecessary. let's go back to the way we were in 1970 before Richard Nixon screwed us all up. every doctor has to give 15% of their practice pro bono work. every doctor every practice you don't need universal health Care
