That's a great message if you don't live in one of the countries with socialized healthcare. It's a great message if you're one of the millions of Americans who leaches off of others for your healthcare. But if someone else is paying for your healthcare, you should feel like shit if you don't take the best possible care of yourself because your health is not your own business, it's other peoples' financial burden.

You're a piece of shit. Go kill yourself.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

DO NOT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES. EVER. FOR ANY REASON.

(frozen comment) I don't agree with OP but..

[(Anonymous)]

can you not?

Seriously telling someone to kill themselves is a shitty thing to do. Honestly you sound just as bad as OP right now.

(frozen comment)

[diet_poison]

fuck. OFF.

[(Anonymous)]

...the fuck?

"it's other peoples' financial burden"

You sound greedy. If money is your first priority, then I don't think you need to comment about health issues since your wallet will come first. Thinking about your wallet won't help people live healthy lives.

...or my household income is $90k a year so I'm in the tax bracket that got the hardest by Obamacare at the same time that Obamacare pissed all over the US Constitution and made my affordable healthcare illegal so now I'm getting fined for not having healthcare and can't get my insulin refilled and have a bill for $196k because I had to go to the emergency room when I went into a coma last month and probably have to file a chapter 11 bankruptcy. Yes, money and health and healthcare are very much tied together in my mind and right at the forefront right now.

[starphotographs]

I think anon is just bitter 'cause "Gub'mint stoled my punctuations!" :P

(...Seriously, to me, that comment reads like they're saying it all in one breath.)

[(Anonymous)]

...except you haven't been fined because the time frame to get coverage for people who've lost insurance due to this very issue has been extended multiple times now.

Also, I find it very hard to believe that you don't get insurance through your employer, given the sort of job you must have. I also kind it hard to believe that you've been charged $196,000, which is more than most people who go through chemo get charged.

You are making shit up. Stop.

[(Anonymous)]

Sell a couple of the Jags, bro.

This is a pretty astonishing argument to make from someone on the side of "you have a duty to take care of yourself b/c insurance means your health is a financial burden on others."

Because if your health insurance got cancelled, that means that it was almost certainly really, really shitty health insurance, not fit to purpose, and by your own logic it was appropriate to chuck you off it because it did not do its job of preserving your health and made you a financial burden on others. If your point of view is that taking care of health is a responsibility, then it is perfectly licit for the government to cancel an insurance program that does not accomplish that end. Sort your fucking arguments out.

(In addition to valid points made by others re: yr story)

[(Anonymous)]

Oh boo hoo. If you make $90k a year you can afford healthcare with no issues. Try paying $600/month on $35k a year because that's the only insurance plan that will accept you due to a preexisting condition... that's controlled by a generic drug that costs $10 a month.

Well, hello, Fox News Correspondent.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi, I'm overweight, obese even, but I"m healthier than most of my slender friends. So...there goes that theory!

[(Anonymous)]

how do you figure you're healthier than your slender friends?
being obese is really, REALLY unhealthy. unless your slender friends all have terminal illnesses or something, i really don't see the logic in that statement. and i've seen it used so many times before. it's like the go-to defensive statement or something.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT

How are you measuring "health"? If you're using rubrics like, "can walk up X flights of stairs or jog Y distance without getting winded," "have good cholesterol/blood pressure numbers," or "experience fewer health-related wellness complaints," then yes, an obese person can be healthier than a slender person.

If you're measuring health in terms of, "isn't fat," then no, AYRT's statement doesn't make sense. But that's a stupid definition.

[(Anonymous)]

Being underweight is actually a lot less healthy than being overweight. Ideally you wouldn't be either one of those, but if people are so concerned about health they should probably be helping some others to gain weight.

[(Anonymous)]

Yo!

I'm a fattie-fat-fat with a great blood pressure, great cholesterol levels, excellent heart-health, the works! And I have two completely different slender friends that struggle with those health issues (one, who runs marathons and would be considered very healthy based on appearance, just suffered a heart attack not two months ago!). I am, objectively, healthier, despite my size. It happens! You really need to do some actual research into different body types and how they work, and stop equating "fat" with "unhealthy". It's really not that simple!

[darkmanifest]

If her slender friends smoke, drink a ton of alcohol, habitually eat horrible foods (which can harm you even if you're blessed with a good metabolism), have bad genes, practice difficult sports, or other health issues that have nothing to do with weight, and anon doesn't, then it's entirely possible for them to be more unhealthy than anon is. Because there are, contrary to current hysteria, many more dangers for the human body than being fat.

[(Anonymous)]

According to BMI, even when I'm a healthy weight, I will now be "overweight". Did you know that several years ago, they randomly changed what a "healthy" BMI is?

http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9806/17/weight.guidelines/

That's part of how this whole "epidemic" thing started.

BMI also doesn't take into consideration muscle-to-fat ratio. Many very fit people are "overweight" because they have muscles. Heck, did you know Arnold Schwartzenegger was "obese" when he won his titles?

I'm not saying any of this is necessarily true for the person you're replying to, but "being obese" isn't that clear cut. I'm working on becoming a healthier weight, but I know people half my size who have heart problems, high cholesterol, diabetes, and a host of other problems. I don't have any of those, even though I'm currently in the "super obese" category despite a 50lbs. weight loss so far.

Just to give a little perspective.

[darkmanifest]

Plenty of people already feel like shit about that and don't go to the doctor at all until they're half dead, even though preventative healthcare is far cheaper than emergency, so shame about lack of money is ultimately costing everyone far more money in the end. So good job making people feel guilty for their health, it seems to be working out smashingly.

[(Anonymous)]

lmao you obviously don't realize that people that don't go to the doctor for preventative care end up costing the taxpaying public more than if we'd just pony up and let people get healthy. When a person can't get care until it is literally life-threatening and they have to go to the hospital, which lands them with astronomical bills that they absolutely cannot pay, who do you think pays for those in the end? So which sounds better to you; silently paying for $30,000 bills that you don't even know about, or ponying up a couple of dollars per paycheck knowingly for a $100 one?

But we don't like to talk about that, do we? No no, let the poor fucking die in the streets, we don't care about them. It's their fault for not working harder.

[(Anonymous)]

This is so stupid that I hope you're trolling, for your sake.

[(Anonymous)]

this is such a selfish outlook. i come from a country where this system of healthcare has been the norm for decades and it means that nobody is losing their house if they break their leg, people can go and see a doctor when they feel something's wrong instead of being too scared to go bankrupt because of it, etc etc. it's called social healthcare for a reason, and it's not "leaching off of others". you pay for your own healthcare too.
