Society/Culture Healthy weight loss should be rewarded with free/optional excess skin removal and other elective cosmetic surgeries.

I want to make it clear that there is nothing wrong with excess skin or stretch marks. They are 100% natural, especially if someone is loosing weight or battling obesity.

But I think it would be a huge incentive to those wanting to get healthier if they knew any excess skin they may have can be removed if they would like it to be (without costing an arm and a leg).

if I'm paying for some congressman's viagra already I don't really mind if my taxes are going to help someone who is struggling due to their excess skin after weight loss

womp womp i don't actually care that much, because my taxes also help pay for children's education, sick people, disabled people, etc. I understand how out governmental and economic system works, and i feel like a child wouldn't understand that.

obviously not as much as you, but I'll let the ratio speak for itself. I don't care about the taxes, I care about selfish people who would rather see others suffer for their own minute benefits, and I don't like those people very much.

God forbid your tax money go towards making people happy instead of blowing up brown people in countries you can't find on a map

It wouldn't be instead of, it would be in addition to.

So it's a drop in the bucket.

I could also type up a whole ass thing about how the motivation to get the skin reduction surgery might lead more people to lose weight, and thereby reducing obesity related medical costs, but I don't think you'll actually give a shit

(I’m assuming you’re from the US) the US pays the most per capita towards healthcare out of any country with their current taxes, yet they pay on top of that the most out of any country I can think of.
