[AGL] What's Wrong With Medicare for All

[Frances Morey]

The people who admire their "private" health provider probably have not had
to use them. I know of people who paid premiums for years only to be denied
claims when the chips were down.

The real problem with 100% health insurance coverage is that there are too
many sick people. It is estimated that 3/4 of the population is obese
and/or diabetic already. That leaves only one quarter of healthy folks
paying into the system.

This is due to the Standard American Diet. If there is one lobby that
scares the bejesus out of lawmakers it is Big Food. Few people gleefully go
plant based even if they get to live longer. Well, not the whole population
at any rate.

Even our poor people eat like King Henry VIII due to massive food subsidies
for animal food products. Virtual deregulation in addition to food industry
welfare through subsidies keeps food cheap. This is what takes place in
congress.

Most of our chronic metabolic syndrome illnesses come from the Standard
American Diet which is spreading world wide. This problem is likely bigger
than Bernie realizes.
