Fat America will find a way to be fat America despite what laws they enforce.
Another factor is.....less people on welfare and getting free health care that drives the costs up for the rest of us.
Maybe they can just rename it or replace it with another chemically modified ingredient.
We have a winner. Costs began to skyrocket in the early 70's after Medicaid was implemented. DRG's were the first attempt to reign them in. Then HMO's. At this point, hospitals are rarely paid for Medicare patients, and when they are, they're underpaid. Since the poor and elderly consume the lions' share of medical services, hospitals are forced to raise prices elsewhere to cover the costs.
FDA just denied them. They wanted to rename it corn sugar.
Why is sugar so expensive?
Easy, people were more fit and the cost of care was way down. They also didn't have the technology to "prolong" life. IMO the reason insurance is so expensive is because so much money is spent on trying to keep the elderly alive. Sure everyone wants grandma to live forever. However those treatments are expensive. This is a huge issue that no one ever talks about for obvious reasons. It's certainly a taboo subject.
You left out poor people.
