Ya but Rav, that means taking Personal Responsibility.
That's too much work.

I realize these are generalities but:

People don't take care of themselves as evidenced by the obesity, heavy drinking, smoking and lack of exercise by the average Joe.

Then someone gets sick from abusing their body for 50 years and complain that they have to spend $5 a day for meds to keep them

out of the hospital ,or alive ,and expect everybody else to pay for their medical expenses .

Meantime, they have been spending $6/a pack for cigs and who knows what for booze and junk food everyday
without blinking an eye.

Then if something goes wrong, they lawyer up for a medical suite.

Meantime the Docs have to protect themselves from law suites by ordering every test possible for a complaint or get sued
for not covering all the bases.
Their mal practice insurance costs are astronomical.

Ya, genetics do play a part, but even then there are prevenitive measures people can take ,if they choose.


Don't know much about Michael Moore, but from the pics i've seen of him,
he looks like he could take a little betta care of himself and eat a few less saucesedgees.
