Fat People and Smokers Actually Save You Money on Health Care
Author: Nick
Category: Money
Topics: health

As our nation stands poised to usher in some sort of health care reform thingy, I can’t help but be reminded of some simple facts:
- Better health care makes people live longer.
- People living longer makes the Earth more crowded.
- The Earth more crowded means even longer lines at the DMV.
So it could be argued that providing health care to people who don’t have it is detrimental to people who do have it. Having grown up on a healthy diet of dystopian sci-fi movies, I was quite looking forward to this problem solving itself, but I guess the unwashed, unhealthy masses have spoken. Fine, poor people, have your fancy doctors and your prescription medications. See if I care.
Okay, so I did care until I found an article from last year that made me change my way of thinking. Apparently those who have lifestyle-inflicted health problems are less taxing on our health care system. Specifically, the article talks about how smokers and those with high-end weight issues (that’s what we’re supposed to call the fatties now, right?) end up costing less money to provide medical care for over the course of their lives versus healthy Joe Lives-to-90. The reason: smokers and the obese die younger and quicker of things like heart attacks and choking on a Big Mac, while the healthy people who stick around longer usually go out slowly due to more costly diseases.
So when your workplace tells you that your health care costs are going up because of people who can’t lay off the cancer sticks and Krispy Kremes, you can let them know that those who choose to indulge in more reckless dietary and, uh, smoketary habits are actually saving you and your company big bucks. And then they roll up those big bucks and try to smoke them or eat them because they’re fatty fat smokeheads.

As bad as it sounds that article may be right. In my opinion now you can buy health, but it will cost you a lot of money… unfortunately

True. The whole population control thing is based on the same premise: less people, more resources to enjoy. IF so then things like cigarettes and fast food were made to reduce the population.
Oh and I once heard a rumor on an asian country. Apparently, bus drivers would try to kill a pedestrian if ever he bumped him/her accidentally. They want them dead since it is more expensive to pay the person damages month after month, until he/she lives.

Tax the Fat!
August 24th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
I’m all for taxing the Fat. American people are becoming fatter and fatter. When I was a kid, it was rare to have a fat kid in class. Now, as my children enter elementary school, MOST of the kids are on the heavy side. They tax our health care system so therefore they should be singled out and taxed. The rich are singled out and taxed. The smokers are singled out and taxed…..WHY NOT THE FAT??????
Maybe then they will get off their big butts and loose weight and become a productive member of society!

This is why infanticide is the answer. Better to smother them in their cribs before they start gobbling up their share of resources.
Wow. I always hated children, now I have an airtight justification.

Wow, who’da thought that smokers could be saving money? Geez, its about time those smokers get credit for something.
In my state they recently passed a law now that the insane sum of taxes on cigarettes is going toward providing free healthcare for children. Not sure what I think of that, but its another way that smokers are doing their part.

@Tax the Fat!
People aren’t taxed for *being* smokers. They’re taxed when they buy cigarettes. So if you wanted some sort of “fat tax” it would be levied on foods that disproportionately make people fat. This wouldn’t be the obvious fatty foods. It would be refined carbohyrates. More specifically it would be high glycemic index foods. A book I’d recommend to everyone wondering why they’re fat is Good Calories, Bad Calories: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom on Diet, Weight Control, and Disease by Gary Taubes. This was also published as The Diet Delusion in the UK. If we put high taxes on high GI foods, we’d see fewer fat kids (and adults) imho.

And when you think that in some countries there are special taxes on these “poison” products that might end your life earlier, the savings are taking a more real shape. The more smokers, the bigger the income from the selling of cigarettes, the licences for bars and clubs who allow smoking inside. Maybe this is the reason why they design so lame ads against smoking and drinking. I don’t thinks that someone would really stop smoking as a result of such ads!

One of the many reasons why I decided to solve my overweight problem is because of the possible complications that it may bring about later on.
I’m currently working on schnell abnehmen tips. this method has helped me lose 20 lbs in 6 months, which is so far the most effective diet plan that I have achieved. This diet should be over soon and I will regain my former petite body. Petite enough to keep me away from any overweight complications.

But you know, if it is something that could be fixed (Jim Henson WHY!) no matter what the cost, why wouldn’t I get it fixed?… cause of a money issue, really? I suppose it just depends on my financial/healthcare situation in about 40 years.

The line about over-population and the DMV line had me in hysterics!
It is understandable that both sides have exaggerated views of the others’ health care system, but in most cases exaggerations exist only because some part of the story is true. I have personally seen people ordering triple cheeseburger large combos at a fastfood place then request a diet soda, as if that will have ANY effect on the massive amount of fat and calories they are about to ingest.
Better health care does mean longer lives, but we also have a responsibility to be preemptive about our own health rather than relying on modern medicine to cure us of our poor and unhealthy habits.

When I just read: “one should tax the fat people” I thought that’s a pretty cool idea. But somebody else then said, that that’s basically not possible unless the government puts taxes on unhealthy food, which we all know everyone enjoys. The skinny, the fat, everyone.
So this would be a bad solution as well. But perhaps the only way. On the other hand, even if candy and snacks had a high tax on them that would not change the fate of all those who are living with a lot of obverweight already. They won’t lose their weight because of a law like that.

If all they need is a good diet and exercise but are too lazy to do that, then they deserve to have their money taken by pharmaceutical companies.

Its an interesting idea, but I can’t help but feel aggrieved when I see a team of firemen taking a morbidly obese person from their home to hospital where a team of medics look after them. That person has normally been living on social security benefits for many years, house-bound and unable to work and must cost the rest of us taxpayers hundreds of thousands over their lifetime.

It’s amazing to think how much people who are so out of shape cost our health care system. It is really going to add up in the future with the amount of people needing health care and at an earlier age.

What is the logic based on this, because they die before they would suck up money from our health care system? I think we should be encouraging people to lose weight and give up smoking. Would your rather people die to save you a buck?

DETROIT (Reuters) – Nike Inc may not be a World Cup sponsor, but the athletic clothing and shoe giant is the top brand online for consumers tuned into the world’s biggest soccer tournament.
Almost one-third of the online buzz around the World Cup in the month running up to the soccer tournament was focussed on Nike, twice as high as rival and official sponsor Adidas AG, according to a Nielsen Co study. The World Cup kicked off on Friday in South Africa.
“Ultimately, no one’s going to talk about something that isn’t particularly compelling,” he said. ”
Nike outlet and Carlsberg, who aren’t affiliated, have done very big, very public campaigns around the World Cup, and they have put them ahead of their competitors who are affiliated.”

Author describe his idea about how money run.It seems terriable.Smokers and the obese die younger and quicker of things like heart attacks and choking on a Big Mac, while the healthy people who stick around longer usually go out slowly due to more costly diseases.So I support the author’s opinion of how to do with your going up health care cost.

Definitely something a post worth reading a few times. Isn’t this just a really sad situation? One of the previous comments talked about how a decade ago or so, you wouldn’t see many obese children enter elementary school and how nowadays, most of the children in a class are obese. Couldn’t agree more – the economic impacts of negative health aren’t something we want to focus on in the upcoming years, but we’re going to have to deal with it eventually.

First – the smoking issue – I think more people are cutting smoking because not only is it way more expensive since taxes have increasingly been added to cigarettes, but you can no-longer smoking is bars, business building, and even parks, and some don’t allow smoking on the property grounds period.
It’s a good start to implement these elements so that second hand smoking decreases and slowly decreases the number of smokers.

Great discussion. One thing that seems to go unmentioned is the health cost of our methods of food production and preservation.
There is ample evidence to indicate that many of the things we have been taught are bad for us can be attributed to the chemicals manufacturers place in the item rather than the item itself.
Try getting potato chips with no msg (recently found a brand that included potatoes, salt, and oil…a miracle) Everything has chemicals these days….cigarettes, suntan lotion, food.
Worse we ingest these foods with–usually– no studies done for their long term effects. And when the studies do confirm negative health consequences…we keep putting them in.
