America is obese. And a host of other reasons.

    This is one half of the equation for sure.

    The other half that nobody wants to talk about when comparing us to random Euro utopias is that those random Euro utopias can afford to invest big money in the health of their people because they know we are investing big money in their national defense.

    If the US cut our defense spending percentage to what the scandinavians spend on defense we could afford to provide everyone health care (even given our fat ass problem).

    But if we did that then the Scandinavians couldn't afford it anymore. Or else they wouldn't stay free long and would looser a lot more than healthcare.

    Do you really want free healthcare at the cost of Scandinavian freedom?

    For shame you selfish bastards.

    That's the beauty of Bernie's plan to pay for free shit by eliminating our military budget and no longer protecting the sea lanes for energy shipments as well as eliminating domestic energy production. He manages to fuck everyone including his precious Norco Euro leeches

    As a bonus he wants to eliminate ICE and the border so disease is free to travel here unchecked.

    But O'Keefed supports border security, that's why he is voting for Bernie.

    This is just another example of white privilege and oppression.

    White blood cells are living rent free inside POC without their consent!
