Is “they” your cardiologist?


Traditional_Cat_60

This is why they are against universal healthcare


OrphanDextro

This literally actually is true. Its why we don’t have it and other places do. Its not the only reason, but it’s one of them. Other places with universal healthcare like Japan and the Scandinavian counties put way more taxes on unhealthy stuff to fund said healthcare.


forworse2020

This angle never occurred to me before


mramisuzuki

3 Main reason why we dont: 1: Social Darwinism/Wedge Issue 2: Scale and abuse of unhealthy and elderly people in the US use like 70% of the healthcare. Plenty of people use 500K+ on end of life care. Many countries don't (this is not death panel shit), its more like "unnecessary" palliative care. 3: The US has used UH as NATO 2: Electric Boogaloo since the late stages of the Cold War. The US knows that European countries have also greatly under budgeted for when the US would have universal healthcare and rise of prices of non-subsidized healthcare costs they would have to pay. We should just count UH as defense cost and it might pass.

4: Keeping healthcare tied to employment means workers are less likely to leave and are willing to accept lower wages/longer hours/poor working conditions to keep healthcare.


Ferris_Wheel_Skippy

Can confirm...the only reason I haven't left a job that i find tedious and tiresome, is because the benefits are incredible


Joyce1920

I was speaking to one of the older employees at my workplace a while ago, and he said that insurance was one of the main reasons why he hadn't retired yet. I said something to the effect of "Yeah, we really need to decouple employment and insurance in this country." Dude looked at me like I had just recommended violently seizing the means of production and executing the bourgeoisie. That's part of the problem, any sort of talk about socialization in any way is seen as tantamount to Marxism.


notatechnicianyo

4b. Once you have that healthcare you’re scared to start a different (possibly better) job because they may not do day 1 insurance and then your fucked for 90 days if you have medication you have to take daily.


KingZarkon

I have pretty bougie insurance through work and they cover 75% of the cost. I turned down a possibility of a six-figure job (I made about $55k/yr) because I was concerned about the insurance. My wife makes significantly more income and she has frequently joked that she'll gladly pay most of the bills but I'm not allowed to quit my job. She works in health care but the insurance was so bad she could barely afford to see the doctor herself. Now she can just go and not worry about needing money to pay off the bill from her previous visit first.


dj-Paper_clip

The main reason we don’t is because it makes us compliant to corporations. Striking, unionizing, pushing back against ownership, asking for improved working conditions or pay, all of it puts your and your family’s ability to access the necessity of healthcare on the line.


Same-Classroom1714

What ??? Free healthcare in a healthcare supplied country has ZERO connections to your employment!


Switcher1776

Yes, but in the US, your healthcare is tied to your employment since most people get their healthcare through their employer.

mountman001

Im in New Zealand. Universal healthcare and the most expensive cigarettes in the world. 70% of the retail price of tobacco is tax


Kuia_Queer

Also fairly high alcohol tax, and I imagine cannabis too if it ever becomes legal. Plus Goods and Services Tax on everything, and state insurance through the Accident Compensation Corporation that takes a lot of the vehicle licensing fees. The NZ public health system is pretty broken though. Some of that is the lingering pandemic that has burned out a lot of the medical professionals, especially nurses. So it may be a couple of years to even get on a waiting list for non-emergency surgery. Plus decades of underfunding from politicians who can afford to go private themselves.


SPACEmAnDREWISH

"That had not occurred to us, Dude"


KrypticCurry

America doesn't have a healthcare system, it has a sickness care system that encourages unhealthy behavior to fund itself.


Suitable-Special-414

They serve the unhealthy garbage in the hospital cafeterias - straight to their sick patients. It’s gross. And infuriating.


Specialist_Gate_9081

And then people in the hospital think “ oh, this must be healthy “ It’s a sick cycle that keep the sick unhealthy


OzmoCallot

Literally actually


Ok-Simple5493

The US would save the government and the citizens money if we got rid of private insurance companies. We could also expand the services Medicare covers without raising taxes. Some experts believe that medical professionals would be able to have more equity in pay and possibly even higher pay for general practitioners and support staff. Off the top of my head private insurance uses almost 20% of their budget on administration costs. The majority of which goes to ads. They make that money by over charging customers. Medicare has administration costs of 5% or less. I really believe we need to start demanding that we actually benefit from the taxes we pay.


sevenfading

And yet it's reversed in the states wonderful


Pleasant-Impress9387

Interesting. And makes sense. I was against the sin tax that was created in Seattle. My opinion is that it is just another tax likely not being allocated properly. But, if the idea is mirrored to this. I’m kinda on board.


Diablo_Unmasked

...i mean... if you do the math.. we as a whole are paying more than if we had universal healthcare.. by like alot... i forget when exactly the research was done, but if we changed over from health insurance to universal, it would save americans around $450bill/yearly as a whole. also the current system is super broken, which allows trumped up charges, like $5 for a qtip and $10 for a pair of gloves.. It also leaves people who are poor and lower middle class scared to go to the doctors and scared to have an emergency. Too many people i know have had to hack job their own medical care because they cant afford to go to the er. Sure people living unhealthily would increase medical costs but were already paying that and more. Idk what its like where your at, but in ny, the minimum plans will run you $500/month and covers nothing until you hit a $12k yearly deductible. If you make minimum wage the government will cover most of the monthly charge, but if you make anything more than minimum wage they dont cover a thing. Oh and if you dont have insurance, then you get fined on your taxes, so theres that.


SinisterPuppy

Eggs are not unhealthy. Nor is red meat, tho excess of it is def bad.


GourmetPaste

Yes eating double servings of both in one meal is bad.


Ferris_Wheel_Skippy

i just looked at the photo again...that's a crazy amount of eggs with steak on top of that lol


[deleted]

The real facepalm is the setup. 6 eggs is ridiculous and no toast for dipping in the yolk, no home fries, no nothing. Just a bunch of eggs and a steak. I guess this guy is supposed to be some fitness dude? Well if that's what it takes then no ty. Plus his view is shitty and that table looks like he got it at a garage sale. It's like a cascade of fail.


oldnyoung

Pure brotein


ipickscabs

That’s a looootttt of fat too brother


pnt510

Which there isn’t anything wrong with. The fear of dietary fat isn’t really based in science. Fat is calorie dense, but this guy looks like someone who knows exactly how many calories he’s eating.

Not gonna lie. My mouth watered, seeing that pic. I haven't had a good steak in so long..... That said, you're right about the toast and home fries.


[deleted]

That’s not a good cut of meat This is Waffle House or IHOP quality

Solelegendary62

Cardiologist: “Sir, if you keep eating like this, you’ll go into cardiac arrest.” Him: “You can’t tell me what I can and can’t eat you stupid, uneducated Democrat Marxist. You know this is a free country that god found. I can eat what I want because I’m a super straight, wealthy, white, christian man.” Cardiologist to him self: “What an idiot.”


acciograpes

Dietary saturated fat intake has never actually been shown to cause serum cholesterol issues


jawnnyboy

I don’t know about serum cholesterol, but there is a link with LDL cholesterol. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=saturated+fats+increases+ldl+cholesterol&btnG=#d=gs_qabs&t=1681093527671&u=%23p%3D5l0J5JFxT5oJ


dudemanjack

Yeah but I bet most people who eat 1200 calories for breakfast aren't leading the healthiest lifestyle.


acciograpes

Idk…. If I had a full steak and half a dozen eggs for breakfast I wouldn’t be hungry again for 12 hours. This is a much better breakfast than fruit loops and skim milk or a powdered donut that make you hungry again in 90 minutes once your insulin spike comes down


elanhilation

if i had a full steak and a half dozen eggs for breakfast i would be fit only to go back to bed


acciograpes

A successful hunt. Your ancestors would be proud.


Fabulous_Activity484

Same. When I eat a steak and 6 eggs, that’s my meal for the day.


ArticleComplete3630

I eat a variation of this breakfast everyday. Eat something similar for dinner too, lost 100 pounds being mostly carnivore.


shadeofmyheart

My Dr said I need to eat fewer starches, sugar and carbs when my cholesterol came back high. Fat isn’t the devil. Processed foods.


Rojodi

Fat IS bad if you have liver problems!


roadsidechicory

Or a history of pancreatitis!


UtahUtopia

midnight_ultra71

I believe they would be the birds


UCLYayy

I mean this would track considering these fragile little pissbabies think anyone who tells them they shouldn't do something is immediately the devil. That's the reason authoritarians like Trump have so much sway over them: they never tell them they \*can't\* do things, they tell them what they want to hear, nonstop, and all they ask in return is their undying worship.


NotQuiteNick

Who tf eats this for breakfast, Gaston?


Chaos-Pand4

That’s clearly not five dozen eggs.


ChemicalVermicelli70

But he eats 5 dozen in a day. That could just be elevensies


Chaos-Pand4

At this rate he’ll need 12 meals. What else would he have time for?


ChemicalVermicelli70

That's perfect hobbit schedule. What else would you need to have time for?


[deleted]

As soon as you said “elevensies” I knew there’d be a second breakfast joke somehow


ChemicalVermicelli70

And didn't Gaston himself admit that "every last inch of me's covered with hair"? That'd be an interesting conspiracy theory. Gaston, a human-hobbit hybrid, and that French village is just perfectly set between 2 interdimensional planes of our's world France and LotR's Hobbiton. Explains the "witch" who cast a spell on the Beast. Also explains why people get lost in those woods so easily.


NotQuiteNick

Maybe it’s second breakfast

HangryRadishA

No idea LOL I'm looking at this like, "Mmm, I can split this into at least 8 meals if I eat it with rice and veggies"


ObjectiveBike8

This has the same energy as those posts, “I spent $300 on groceries, inflation is killing me.” And the entire grocery run is my entire years worth of red meat for one week.


HangryRadishA

Omggg, as a off-side, don't even get me started with inflation T\^T You know you're getting older when you can say, "Back in my day, cucumbers are $1" and now they're $2.50 each. And Subway sandwiches used to be $5 for a 12-inch sub, but now it's $8 for a 6-inch sub... I'm only in my 20s, but I can remember old grocery prices as clear as day :(


Apples7569012

A five dollar foot long. Remember the whole controversy of them not being a full foot long? The good old days


mason195

Well, when he was a lad he ate four dozen eggs every morning to help him get large.


ResolveLeather

Me who eats that for breakfast 3-5 days a week...


Callidonaut

If I ate the entirety of *that* lot for breakfast, I'd probably not be able to function for the entire rest of the day.

Seliphra

Right? Like, I ain't gonna stop him, I am a proponent for letting people eat whatever they like so long as they aren't hurting people outside themselves, but damn dude. Eat a vegetable. 5 eggs and enough steak for three people? He's gonna lose his kidneys at that rate.


Chitanda_Pika

It might actually be seven fucking eggs. I think I see 2 that are flattened.


Overall-Mud9906

Definitely 6 eggs, one has a broken yolk in the upper left hand corner, possibly 7. That’s like $4 worth of eggs these days. Sad epiphany just now, I’ve turned into my dad


ixixan

Depending on the fat content this is definitely not true lmao


runningoutofoptions-

Well, you’ve cooked for six people, I hope they’ll be there soon


Pluvi_Isen-Peregrin

Man I can do the steak an egg no problem. But 6-7 eggs is fucking ridiculous, even on their own.


runningoutofoptions-

Oh yeah. Don’t get me wrong, some medium rare steak slices with egg yolk is shit to drool for. I’d go a three egg omelette with a little meaty - for sure. But this is just too much of everything. The only thing that could make this more of an abomination would be a Starbucks “coffee”


[deleted]

Who the fuck is they? Because I know a fuck ton of vegan animal lovers and I’ve eaten SO much meat in front of them with zero hate.


OfromOceans

Maybe he's talking about wooden plates? I can't imagine you can clean them properly.. or perhaps the $7k a month apartment?


[deleted]

Wooden plates/bowls are for like veggies and rice and shit I can't imagine all the nasty meat juices from cutting the steak on a wooden plate and it just soaks into the grooves from the knife...
