Well that is one of the larger problems the UK and first world countries with socialized healthcare are dealing with as well.
Think how much more their healthcare will cost. |
So free healthcare is one of the bigger problems in the UK???
|
The way it's run yeah. There is no benefit to living a healthy life.
It's a major problem with US healthcare too but that's managed by offering either rewards or penalties to people for how they live their livse. Such a thing would be unthinkable in the UK.
|
The UK works around this with a tightly knit community programme, something I imagine you don't get with commercial hospitals. They have obligations to be active within the community set by the government, kind of like the BBC have obligations to satisfy certain audiences. They offer free sex ed and other medical education services for young people and schools, free mother and baby clinics and so on and so forth. It's a good system.
|
None of that addresses the Obesity problem. Which is a huge problem. Some UK doctors have suggested not offering the same services to the obese because of the huge deficit their care causes. They were of course shot down.
|
im glad they were shot down, who are you to judge who does and does not deserve healthcare? its a basic HUMAN right, since when did obese people stop being human?
|
Stop being human never.
We're talking about people who intentionally cause healthcare problems.
So it's your opinion that anyone can mistreat their bodies and should still get treated the same as everyone else?
That people should be abel to be as irresponsible as they want and get paid for it?
That anyone who wants to can get really fat and get paid for it along with getting treatment for their own bad and explotive choice?
|
perhaps we should stop treating anyone who goes outside aswell, they choose to do so, knowing full well that going outside carries countless risks, you can get hit by a car, catch all sorts of illnesses
what people do with there bodys is there choice, i think we should have a more progressive education system that tells them all the risks but if they still make mistakes, they still deserve there basic rights.
|
So in otherwords. If i constantly make my self sick on purpose it's your opinion the government should have to cure me.
If i have diseases that could be cured but don't want to the government should have to let me keep my disesase and deal with all the costly and negative effects.
