I already covered this when I explained in areas where healthcare doesn't even exist healthier populations exist, and you argued that they get free healthcare (which wouldn't even qualify as healthcare in any 1st world country btw). I then went on to say:

I also made a point which explained how taking some personal responsibility for your health, ie not smoking, reducing meat consumption, alcohol abuse, etc.. will help reduce all the largest problems we rely on healthcare for (and what it profits from) WHILE ALSO being more financial feasible. So yeah...

The selective reading skills some of you have is really quite impressive.

Ja I thought that sounded like a questionable naturalist claim too.

There is simply no way this dude is going to survive his first term. I'm taking bets on whether he simply quits, or gets forced out.

I'm convinced he's tired of working so much and is trying to tank.

Food deserts and lack of proper nutrition education lead to higher obesity rates.

44000 is ~1.6% of total deaths in the US going by 2014 census data. So really its a miniscule contribuor of life expectancy.

Wasn't really my point, especially since a lot of suicides are committed by middle aged or older people. Just not a subject to be taken flippantly.

Yall trying to say I can't joke about suicide? Because those jokes come naturally to me. The rape jokes are forced though.
