Could I add them? Sure, but I was being sarcastic, and making a simple point. That point is, NO ONE BUT YOU controls: what goes in your shopping cart, what goes in your mouth, and whether you decide to go for a walk or watch more Oprah, Keeping Up with The Kardashians, etc.

Futhermore more, people (especially "liberals") keep complaining about the cost of healthcare, but have ZERO interest in discussing the cost of bad personal health i.e., diet, lifestyle, etc.) Expecting the healthcare system to make mostly preventable disease cost-free is ridiculously. Sure, that doesn't cover everything. I get that. But if we stopped wasting soooooooo much money on the preventables, we'd have plenty for the truly ill.

Instead we blame the system.

p.s. When you look down and can't see your own "thing" when you pee, isn't that a red flag? Instead, we keep eating ice cream - it's our right, right? - and blame anything but ourselves. Again, ridiculous.
