And in healthcare. Doctors always shoo me away when I show warning signs. They're not interested in getting to the bottom of warning signs. They'd rather wait until shit happens before they're interested in taking my money and solving it.
Oh and in a system where health insurance really cared about prevention, they'd pay for everyone's gym memberships.
- nickff 5y agoThe problem with paying for gym memberships is that the marginal gym member won’t actually attend.
- MattGaiser 5y agoI would be interested in that question. Would free gym actually change the amount of exercise being done? I suspect not.
- annamargot 5y agoMy bet is that it would decrease the amount done. If it’s free why not sign up, maybe someday I’ll use it. Maybe not Edit: decrease the amount done as a percentage of signups. Perhaps the growth in signups would make up for the percentage drop in aggregate terms. Ie flood the gym with memberships and only find one more person actually working out
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoHah, nowadays there are mask mandates (more in Europe rather than in the Land of the Free). Makes me wonder what the world would be like with gym attendance mandates, or 10000 steps-a-day mandates.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoGotta love people downvoting a hypothetical/"what-if" because they think I'm advocating for a nanny state...
