Blarg, Blarg Blarg! Fat Beasts Attack National Healthcare

Over a million hospital admissions for obesity
There were more than a million hospital admissions for obesity-related treatment in England in the year leading into the global pandemic, figures reveal.

The record number provides the clearest indication yet of the scale of the obesity problem as coronavirus started to spread across the UK.

Being overweight is one of the most significant risk factors for severe Covid.

Experts say the data should be a wake-up call for tackling obesity. . . .

Welcome to Jolly ol' England, where it's a human right for you to pay the medical costs of your cheeseburger-gobbling, sedentary neighbors.
So civilized.

Every obese person’s vote counts the same as yours & there’s way more of them.

It's true.
I just get tired of Brits patting themselves on the back over how erudite and humane their healthcare system is.

Poor Nigel lives on your tax money, uses it to fatten himself up on garbage food until his body is about to quit and die. Then, you get to pay his medical expenses.
Wow. Sounds humane as fuck.
Cutting edge of civilization right there, I guess.

Of course, if you never fattened Nigel up in the first place .... if he had to work for his own food ... well, nevermind all that. I'm talking like an American barbarian now.

You know, one argument, (going back to early Dan Common Sense Fat Police) against nationalized health was that the state would be forced to curtail unhealthy activities to save on costs. Smoking, drinking, rock climbing, and ostensibly fatty foods would have to be taxed or banned.

But one thing occurred to me. If we are ever forced to have an NHS, we can be reasonably certain that they wont go after fatty foods. So long as there is a single fat white chick in this country, it probably wont happen.
