You are wrong. Many poor people are fat because fast food costs less than healthy food. Especially if you have a family.

Stop being dumb. Fast food is more expensive than cooking healthy at home. STOP BEING DUMB!

You are assuming that poor people have the same lifestyle and time that you do.

Red States have an average Fat Index of 36%

Blue States-----23 %

No, I understand reality, which is something that you have proven to struggle with. I'm not going to sugarcoat reality to save feelings. Fat people are fat because they are undisciplined. It's rare to see a truly fat person that is also wealthy. People who are self-driven are usually self-driven in all aspects of life. People are lazy, undisciplined, and lack self control usually lack it in all areas of life. This is reality. Hopefully one day you will realize the truth.

I'm not sure I have ever heard of a doctor postponing seeing a patient, but there are a large percentage that do not take medicaid. It's hard to get paid and, as CCCP said, it pays less.

doesn't that sort of go against the oath they take when they become doctors? Not saying it doesn't happen, just that it shouldn't be a factor.

The Hippocratic Oath (or something similar) is a tradition and has no legal binding. It is now mostly a part of the pomp of graduation, like moving your tassle from one side to the other. Some medical schools don't even take oaths anymore or, what they do take, has been so secularized as to be vague and open to numerous interpretations.

Medicine is not simply altruism. It is also a business.

I know it has no legal binding, but it should still mean something to those taking the oath, right?

Well, that's great and all, but I live in Kansas, my church is not wealthy enough to pay for anything, My friends are all millennials, and Kris Kobach is going to be my next governor. What now.

Maybe you should get a job that pays a strong wage instead of relying on the Gov't to help you achieve your goals of helping the less fortunte? Personal responsibility goes a long way.

You make more than I do. Please pay for medicaid for every single American.

Spoken like a true socialist. LOL.

Because I am successful I owe you something.

They will see you but not right away. Not sure what you don't understand about that. Medicare does not reimburse as well as corp. insurance.

Drink 8 glasses of water per day. That is free. They cannot do that? Have to buy Coke or Mountain Dew? A salad at a grocery store is $2.99. Less than what you pay for a #1 at McDs.

Tang always has excuses.

Very good points, CCCP. That is for enough salad for the a family of 3. It's all about choices. Poor people tend to make worse choices. Fat people tend to make poor choices. It's reality. It's not a fun reality, but it's reality nevertheless. To say otherwise, is just being blind and naive.

So Tang, please tell me how eating healthy is more expensive again?

Tang and bad_luck believe poor people are poor because others keep them down. They are fat because others only feed them fatty foods. LOL.

The ignorance is off the charts.

Talk about screwing Middle America:

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said that President Donald Trump's new China tariffs will increase prices but “nobody is going to actually notice.” Ross told CNBC that the tariffs will be "spread across thousands and thousands of products" and "nobody is going to actually notice it at the end of the day."

I understand it. Never said I didn't. What I said was a doctor should not base when he sees people on their medical coverage. Not sure what you don't understand about that.

Do you think it's wrong for doctors offices to deny certain insurances.
