@Luke largely because we have free health care, it’s a weight on the system if everyone’s sick. US profit massively from sick people.
The health care isn't free. The state just acts as the facilitator. It's still a huge redistribution of money from ordinary people to big pharma via taxes and insurance. Also, the health care system gets privatized more and more (at least in UK or Germany) and hospitals are pretty open about their system of having as many sick people as possible to cover costs. My father is on some sort of supervisory board in a hospital and he openly talks about how surgeons are encouraged to perform completely unnecessary operations and procedures to extract as much money as possible from insurance companies. And hospitals still close all the time because the didn't make enough people sick. Doctors also prescribe medication for high blood pressure and “high cholesterol” to healthy people, which is what makes them ill in the first place, just like in the US.
Every bullshit from the USA will eventually be copied by European lemmings.
The EUSSR bans some bad substances, but they also ban the good substances so that you have to buy from mafia-like companies to get everything that's positive to health from a metabolic standpoint through customs.
