It’s fun to laugh, but also this is, like most of what these two do, propaganda to justify taking away health care.

It’s not subtle. The implication is the only reason you need Medicaid is you didn’t walk 15 minutes a day. And you are therefore “lazy” and undeserving. Of course, it’s a lie. Even athletic people need health care! But in our puritanical culture, people buy this shit.

Nailed it. See also the outrage of people who say "But I always ate healthy food and exercised regularly!" when they are diagnosed with chronic or serious diseases. Lowering your odds is great, but sometimes your number comes up.

Right wingers took great offense at Michelle Obama working on getting school kids to eat healthy (the original MAHA influencer). And the laziest and most unhealthy of our citizens are decidedly MAGA. Exercise is obviously great for physical and mental health, but it ain't health insurance.

I don't know who Mehmet thinks he's kidding. Turkey is buying up a lot of healthcare 'privatization' in Canada, and he is a Turkish citizen/voter... I doubt they're not doing same in US and there is no chance he's not rep'ing them. Oz is a fraud and a traitor.

I'd have to dig into the numbers, but I bet a significant percentage of Medicaid enrollees *already* walk 15+ minutes a day. Whether as family caregivers and/or in the paid jobs that most of them have.

People are living longer which puts more boomers in the crosshairs for diseases and conditions that wouldn’t have affected people in the 20th century because people died sooner. MAHA is political theater, with no connection to medical science. It’s woo as conservative rhetoric.

People that exercise more might need less expensive health care so we should really use that saving to buy infrastructure that encourages everyone to walk everywhere instead of being forced to drive. But they won’t do that.

In this context I often think of Jim Fixx, the guy who first popularized exercise as a magic fix for all one's health issues, and ignored medical advice to monitor his physical condition more closely. Died of a heart attack during his daily jog.
