Paul Chambers🚧<p>RFK Jr.: If you eat donuts, should society pay for your health care? </p><p>The right went nuts when First Lady Obama encouraged eating salad.</p><p> It should be alarming that they may be wanting to limit access to health care, or tinker with Medicare or Medicaid eligibility, based on personal behavior.</p><p>“The Constitution doesn't say anything about health, much less doughnuts and cigarettes,” he said. “People should bear the cost of their own unhealthy decisions, not just because it's wrong to force other people to bear those costs, but because then they're less likely to make unhealthy decisions.”</p><p>Trump and RFKjr don't understand two things about going after people on SNAP food stamps, Medicare or Medicaid who smoke, drink sodas, eat Little Debbie's, junk food, etc... </p><p>1st, the business conglomerates that own all these brands, sell all this stuff, and profit, have prevented those with power to make the changes from happening because it will wreck their incomes and sales</p><p>2nd, their base, esp the south who are on those programs, and it is a lot, would rebel. <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Health</span></a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/Medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicare</span></a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/Medicaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicaid</span></a> </p><p>It's not a leap to go after other "unhealthy" or risky personal behaviors.
