and what of other STDS, syphliss, ghonorea etc, i bet they are out of this world. Plus, the anti-biotics are becoming more and more resistence to these diseases.. but you will never hear about this...
You’re right; there is a wide range of other illnesses this group is at high risk for.
I get a survey every year from my health insurer, if I don’t fill it out they will raise my premiums.
They ask things like, what I eat and how much of it, how I exercise and how often, do I use tobacco products, alcohol?
I quit smoking about 4 years ago but prior to that, I simply lied on the form and said that I had never smoked and do not drink alcoholic beverages. The part about alcoholic beverages is true but it’s still none of their business.
They have already raised the rates of admitted tobacco users. Alcohol is next, no matter if you drink in moderation or not. Then will come raises for people who don’t exercise, then for people who don’t eat their correct amount of fruit and veggies.
The only question that is notably absent is whether I lead the queer life style, a known and very expensive, for insurers, killer.
They want to know how many servings of fruit I eat but can't ask if I am one.
