Depression is one of the things that motivate people to get fat, which of course causes those other problems. It's hard for someone to lose weight when they're depressed and eating is about the only thing that feels good so that's a hard one to fix.
Depression makes people skinny too. It just depends on the person; however, there is a positive correlation with overweight people and depression. It's both the chicken and the egg, as many of them only become depressed only after becoming overweight. I'm not referring to Major depression disorder.
Good points, but smoking actually results in more people dying at a lower net cost than if those same people lived to be 80. Presumably anyway.
That's actually not correct. Unhealthy people are a far bigger strain on the healthcare system. Just look at countries like japan or France. A healthy person that receives a ton of health care the last 5-10 years of their life is not as big of a problem as a person that's in poor health in their 30's and makes it to 60, particularly if they don't have health insurance.
I wasn't saying that I didn't have a problem.
What happened to Walmart workers is the direct effect of Obamacare.
Yet that was never the original intent was it ?
The intent of Obamacare was to provide insurance to those that didn't have it and help those that couldn't afford it.
Everyone else could keep what they had.
It certainly didn't turn out that way did it ?
It has turned out, and continually evolving even more, as a way of controlling the individual and taking even more money from those that can least afford it.
Continuing to believe what a great deal obamacare is shows a need for the mental health aspect of such a bill.
Well the House did introduce legislation to restore the traditional full time work definition of 40 hours.
HR-2575 was introduced near the end of June. We'll see if they can get this passed.
I think workers need this..that's 10 hours that p/t workers don't have anymore.
A bill was introduced in the House of Representatives to restore the longstanding definition and restore historical workforce standards. The Save American Workers Act, H.R. 2575, would reinstate the traditional 40-hour-per-week definition to full-time work and remove an incentive to cut hours.
