Quote:That last line goes right over his head. He brings this point up every time and is dead wrong.

Regular doctors visits: physicals; vision, dental, hearing exams, mammograms, prostate checks, vaccinations, diet checks, blood work, stress tests, are good for everybody and can help prevent more serious health outcomes.



But that is just one part of the healthcare issue. We need to develop a new American culture of sound diets and exercise. Food providers need to provide safer and more nutritious food products. We need to get away from the junk food and drinks. I'm not suggesting a ban but a change in the way we think about what we put in our bodies.

This is true, and insurance companies should provide those on their own (because they benefit the insurance just as much). But as JJ mentioned in his post, by tying themselves (insurance) to employers they create artificial terms which dis-incentivizes them to do this. Which kind of lead to ACA in the first place.

Agree on the second point as well. Take away the corn subsidies.
