We need universal healthcare more than ever now! Obesity isn't something that should prevent future universal healthcare in the USA.

But the powers that be don't really care if we're healthy or not, just that we are controllable.

The maskless morons would be swallowing triple cheeseburgers whole in between screaming Freedom.

She might drop dead before collecting SS. A win for the budget.

Quite possibly she will get private health insurance her whole short life and thus never use Medicare either.

I'm not sure the healthy person who lives to 102 saves us money over the fat slob that dies at 60.
