They make my wait at the doctors office longer. I have a sore throat: 5 minute office visit. They have: bettus, sleep apnea, arthritis, heart failure, asthma etc: 45 minute office visit. On top of that my taxes go to cover that visit and the fuck ton of meds they’re on..

I'm amazed at the progress medicine has made to help treat so many diseases that would have killed people even 30 years ago. But I'm sad that instead of using this miracle of science we are lucky enough to have access to, it's being used and abused to enable shit lifestyles.
The FA's cry that doctors are being big ol meanies, when in reality if it weren't for modern medicine half of them would be rotted in the ground by now. The other half would be there soon.

Its not just taxes! Fats drive up healthcare costs, and (at least in the US and a handful of other obesity-plagued countries) are one of the major drivers of insurance rates.
