> If you made the healthcare system as perfect as you wanted it to be, you would be fighting an uphill battle with these problems, it's very questionable whether you'd have any real impact. If public health policy was sensible it would heavily regulate high-fructose syrup, not subsidise corn, plan cities and suburbs to have plentiful free access open space and exercise areas, good public transport, walkways and cycle ways. As happens in Australia, ideally soon to regulate high-sucrose levels in soft drinks to close up that sugar gap. > And frankly, the US does much better than most countries when you measure just the healthcare system. And still has lower life expectancy and cancer recovery rates than Australia. But people don't like that, they challenge it immediately, because it's not what they want to believe.
