Sure, Tim knows more than the Harvard Medical School and JAMA. Unsupported, but he knows more.

I didn't challenge their asserted facts, I placed them in to context. If they say disease X is 25% more common and disease Y is 250% more common they are probably right, but I pointed out how they ignored many sorts of other diseases, and other health concerns. Their facts may well be in order, but their facts don't support the headline.

re: Obesity has next to nothing to do with the health care system.

That's where you don't have a clue. A "system" support cheap prevention rather than expensive, lifelong treatment.


Obesity is primarily due to the decisions and actions of individuals as they live their lives. It isn't created by any medical system.

re: Birth weights are higher. Infant mortality lower. Many dangerous diseases that struck children have been eradicated or contained.

But under performing the single payer systems.


Only by distorted stats.
