health education combined with the shite that is put in our food is a huge issue in this country and definitely part of the problem, but for the purposes of this thread I'm treating that as a separate issue.

The problem is you can't do that.

That literally is the issue. All y'all are doing is focusing on the symptoms. It is easy to focus on the symptoms and blame the insurance companies, hospitals, or big pharma. They are easy scapegoats. Everybody has had problems with them at one time or another.

But they are nothing more than scapegoats.

It's like blaming welfare queens. They aren't the problem. The system that offers them the opportunity is.

Coming out and directly blaming this country's citizens for the problem, like we should, would be a death sentence though. No one is brave enough.

This is one of the reasons I'm deadset on pediatrics. It'll give me a chance to actually combat these issues at the start.
