except if you have medicaid, you have an option to go free to ER, or go free to your local community clinic..... oh, and all the meds are FREE too!!!

Nor would you want people to

EVERYONE who has medicaid, goes to ER for a checkup

everyone who has insurance, waits in line

```Poverty and low-income status are associated with a variety of adverse health outcomes, including shorter life expectancy, higher rates of infant mortality, and higher death rates for the 14 leading causes of death.4,5 These effects are mediated through individual- and community-level mechanisms.6 For individuals, poverty restricts the resources used to avoid risks and adopt healthy behaviors.7 Poverty also affects the built environment (i.e., the human-made physical parts of the places where people live, work, and play, including buildings, open spaces, and infrastructure), services, culture, and reputation of communities, all of which have independent effects on health outcomes.8 Location matters, and there are often dramatic differences in health care delivery and health outcomes between communities that are only a few miles apart. For example, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) found that there is a 25-year difference in average life expectancy between inner city and suburban neighborhoods for babies born in New Orleans, LA, and there is a 14-year difference in average life expectancy between two Kansas City, MO, neighborhoods that are roughly three miles apart.```

and if you disagree, find and ER doctor and ask them

`25-year difference in average life expectancy between inner city and suburban neighborhoods for babies born in New Orleans, LA`

`there is a 14-year difference in average life expectancy between two Kansas City, MO, neighborhoods that are roughly three miles apart.`

that I can agree with

People have primary care physicians at the ER . That knows you and gives you regular check up at your local hospital ER

and look at all of those CO FOUNDING FACTORS and variables.... access to healthcare has nothing to do with it

Like just look at the level of obesity for people that are poor.

just the simple fact that some still think ACA made healthcare better and not worse is astonishing. even prior to the covid.

Which leads to significant heart disease.

huh??? no

So what are you talking about

Literally no one is saying anything about this, but okay.

That’s not comprehensive useful preventive health care @Eden

obesity is mostly genetic

Jesus Christ

you want to say the poorer you are the more obese you are???

The poorer you are the less access and time you have to eat and make healthy meals

This is well known

And to that never going to the doctor ever for a regular check will just leave you with diabetes or heart disease down the line

... what. lol

this is what Maw said

Especially for poor people over 30

you didn't know that? its number 1 factor

oh... now you are saying all of those 400pound people, who are struggling... its all their fault... if only they gotten in shape!!! those idiots!!!... is that your stance???

The Health Survey for England 2019 estimates that 28.0% of adults in England are obese and a further 36.2% are overweight but not obese. Obesity is usually defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above. BMI between 25 and 30 is classified as 'overweight'.
The CDC provided a data update in May 2017 stating that for adults 20 years and older, the crude obesity rate was 39.8% and the age adjusted rate was measured to be 39.7%. Including the obese, 71.6% of all American adults age 20 and above were overweight.

You don’t have to be 400 pounds to be morbidly obese

Or even at a high health risk

no, but have you ever thought that being obese causes you to be poor?????

?????????????????????????????????????????????

yes

No being poor creates and lends to circumstances that would lead you to be most likely be over weight and have a lifestyle that leads to long term health issues that most people just ignore until it’s too late

if you have a 200 lbs lady and 300 labs lady apply for a job.... who do you choose? and if you say of course not based on qualifications, think about who does joe shmoe chooses?

omg

Poor people living pay check to paycheck

if you have a fit 125 lady apply for a job and 200 lady apply for a job..... hmmmm
