Another election has swung by and yet more promises about our "health crisis" and how they are going to fix it. It is always the same; We will put more funding into hospitals, create more beds and get more doctors!
PLEASE! Someone's health is over by the time they need a hospital bed or doctor (unless of course they have cut a limb off). When will funding go into getting the common sense back into people and start slapping a few others around? We know what food is good for us. We know that exercise is good for us. We know that smoking is bad for us. We know the difference between good and bad!
I try and live a good "health" life. I stay fit, eat well and don't smoke. I pay my taxes, of which a portion will go to try and save an obese smoker's leg. Why the F*** should I have to pay for that? Why can't I get a tax break because I am not a burden on society?
The demise of the Australian "healthcare" system will be due to the fat, the smokers and the unfit. Hmmm... This is almost every politician I ever see on TV.
Now I see the problem!
