Should We Make Obese People Pay For NHS Treatment? | Good Morning Britain 

100 times...AMEN!!!👋👋

why r successful ones r to blame again? U think they came this way playing and dancing?

If she ate less crap she could spend that on better quality food. I got enough good meat from the butchers to feed me, my son and his girlfriend today for 2 meals and a BBQ. It cost less than 3 McDonalds meals!! It's actually cheaper to eat healthy. People are just to lazy to prep anything properly.

@@Biggie123Fol that's still expensive. Good meat is expensive end of. Yeh veg is cheap and u can make alright meals but meat is still so pricey

@@xrpgino6858 You say thats still expensive but it cost less to feed 3 people 3 meals from the butcher than it would have cost to buy us all just one McDonalds meal each!!! And either way what's wrong with making some sacrifices. Eat less expensive crap and afford more healthy food. Simple!

@@Biggie123Fol I'm saying McDonald's is still expensive it's expensive either way. Even when u don't eat expensive crap it's still expensive. The cheapest fresh meat at the cheapest supermarket is still expensive

@@xrpgino6858 Everything at a supermarket is expensive these days thanks to Joe Biden lol But heating healthy is still cheaper than eating crap. Just takes a bit of time to prepare. Yes McDonalds is still expensive. But it doesn't stop overweight people that claim they are poor going there to eat twice a week!! I'm saying what I see with my own eyes instead of going along with what TV shows tell us to believe!

Exactly, obesity is a complex problem involving emotional, mental, social,financial and many other components. You can’t just throw a drug at it and hope it will “fix it” The only winners will be the Drug Companies Excessive profits and those of their greedy shareholders

Hello nice to meet you ❤😊

​@@DrMattiLabbratthello nice to meet you 😊

@@ChangHooo Hello ChangHooosan . Nice to meet you also 🙏🏼

That’s excellent work! I’m so proud of your effort as I know it can be very tough x

How much weight have you gained back now?

He's a "TV doctor" what do you expect. One step away from a politian!

Thank you. This lady is out of order

PCOS or not, you cannot disobey the laws of physics. If you are gaining weight, eat less calories. It's that simple.

Grow up

Why let them work there in the first place

That's just what I was thinking

Totally agree with you. That woman made a lot of sense. Whereas the guy on the right was very patronising to people of colour etc. You can eat well cheaply and you have to take responsibility for your weight, not expecting these quick fixes. The food and drug industry does not want people looking after themselves or they lose,mondey

Thanks Andy! You know pharmaceutical companies made billions out of the vaccine right?? Hardly a wonderful vaccination considering it didn't stop transmission, came with possible side effects and wasn't needed by everyone even though thats what they tried to convince us. But you're right about one thing, people that pay their taxes deserve a service. Some people don't work due to their obesity and therefore don't pay taxes!

Obese people need to help themselves by changing their lifestyle, just stop eating so much and make an effort to stay healthy.

She sounds like Eastern European woman, they don’t filter their words, the people in Eastern Europe are slim and take good care of themselves 😂. Unlike Britain.

She has said some valuable points though

The approach of Dr Orsmond is vastly better than the British doctor, who suggests people of limited means have no self control, while being paid to prescribe things they may have to take for life. He is feathering his own nest. Dr Orsmond on the other hand talks about ways to have people take control of their own lives which, if anything, would decrease her patient numbers and apparently this isvile...why, for speaking the truth?

​@@MyFrankieeehello nice to meet you ❤😊

Exactly. How about people who don't only drink water? Or those who drive? Or those that don't wear covid mask? Or those who leave the house in the morning? Or those that are born? Should they be made to pay?

Exactly, how can you target only overweight people. I'm overweight but have not had any medical treatment regarding my weight or hospital treatment for that or any other issues thankfully. Yet, some people who have genetic ill health do use medical services more and some who are just unfortunate in life or enjoy daring sports, yet obese is always targeted.

Yes they do actually with the huge taxes imposed on the products that they use.

@@kevspencer5744 Not extra for health care?

Not only they should pay for their treatment but for the hazardous smoke we receive while they smome

Not to mention it causing high blood pressure, heart and liver disease, mouth, throat, esophagus, colon,rectum, weaken immune system, memory speech, brain and lack of balance control causing injury and seeking medical help but society seems to of overlooked that so whilst some may eat others might drink, smoke, take drugs or participate in sports that could have serious medical seeking consequences short and longterm.

Very true

And alcohol makes you gain tones of weight😮

Such a great point. Alcohol is a massive issue among patients we see yet barely seems to get a mention unless it is about “Near death alcoholics” which is often sadly too late to treat and save their lives. So many people are on this road, yet it’s all socially acceptable and just a huge joke. We see 20 alcohol related cases to every 1 obesity related case

"Other medical conditions." You're absolutely right. It's called not knowing when to stop eating. Fat people eat more than they need to. They eat too much of the wrong kinds of food and not enough of the the right kind. Don't believe me? Next time you eat out watch other diners. Slim and average-sized people eat within reason: no appetisers, reasonable sized main course, no pudding, and very little alcohol. Fat people, on the other hand, eat and drink in abundance.

99 percent eat too much.

99% are

@@balance3201 no big pharma is the problem the meds they keep pumping into people are partly to blame. I’m not saying some is down to gluttony but so is highly processed food is also a problem.

@@mikereaper3869 you are so misinformed.

That's not how it works.

Exactly, the point supports the NHS paying for it. And the idea it's not the fault of the individual.

Exactly, you need to change the environment not just educate people. People before processed foods knew less about nutrition, calories and diets, but didn't suffer from obesity. Chris is right, you need to change the food system. Until then you need to not discriminate against obese people.

Not to mention those not born into wealth.

There is only a certain amount it's going to cause you to lose and then it stops. But if you stay on it your weight should remain stable at that new set point and your hunger will increase and you will eat some more again but you won't be gaining weight. Check out Dr. Carel le Roux's videos where he explains this.

Champix for smoking cessation was available for over a decade in the UK until very recently, it was very successful so I'm unsure why it's been withdrawn..Off to Google I go!

@@helendisco3939 maybe they started to offer it before it was tested properly and they found some problem with it so withdraw till they sorted it. Or not many wanted to use it

Would be a huge weight off their mind! 🤣

That woman was astonishingly rude.

The drugs have proven safe in diabetics for 18 years.

Have you ever asked yourself why people eat too much?

The drugs are treating the cause.

She dominated cos she shouted over every one. I wouldn’t be surprised if she benefits from obese people paying for meds (I don’t know I’m not saying she does but it could be true). If fat people need to pay to see the doctors, then more people will turn to weight loss clinics like her own. It’s simple. It’s also why I suspect she’s against these weight loss drugs (again I don’t know and I don’t know if these drugs r any good either). But by preventing fat people from taking potentially effective weight loss drugs then they will have to go to clinics like hers.

@@m0tm0t2 Unfortunately, if forced to pay they won't go to her clinic, they'll do as the American's do and just not go to the doctor until it's life or death.

I can tell you now that is a myth, same as drinking more water will help you lose weight, same as you shouldn't eat late at night, same as you shouldn't drink diet soda/pop etc etc Also dieting is 80% about the food you eat, and only 20% about the exercise you need to do!! I can tell you all this because it is only cals in and out, you can eat what you bloody want as long as you stick to those cals every day, save them up if you need to for going out for a meal or drinking at the weekend etc as long as your weekly total adds up to the correct amount you will be fine!! I know this because i have struggled all my life with my weight simply because i like my food, and an emotional eater, and have a sweet tooth, no excuses, that is how i am! However i was not meant to be fat, i have a very small frame, small hands, ankles, feet, quite nice legs, etc etc and have an hour glass figure when i lose the weight! I have lost all my weight i needed to many times, well 4 in my lifetime, woke up one day, got a calorie counting book, and just got on with it, i lost 41/2 stone in 7 months, no extra exercise either, just my normal job! Oh and i drank diet Pepsi all the time, and i mean a lot, i ;i live on the stuff anyway, about 10 2 litre bottles a week! When i have put any weight back on, it is because i have stuffed my face, no one else's fault, but my own! I don't make excuses, i just get on with it, and it is very hard, but it can be done, it is as simple as you want, or you can make it as hard and complicated as you want! But what people need to stop doing, is stop making excuses! At the end of the day we all know most overweight people do!!

@@Darkangel-hy8ev what i don’t understand is, if if you were locked in a room with carrots and apples, as many as you could eat, would you overeat? most people overeat because bad quality food is addictive. if you manage your fiber content, eat natural foods as much as possible, maintain good protein, don’t drink sugary drinks, you will lose weight much more effectively. yes, calories play a role but you’ll have a much easier time avoiding overeating if you eat the right foods

@@anonthemouse5422 I understand what you are saying, and when people used to comment on my diet not being perfect when i am losing my weight, that is fine, i know how i like to do it, what works for me etc, and they would still be struggling because they were trying to worry about fiber content, fat content etc when i did not! Like i said if i had to mess about worrying about those things i would never succeed! Weight watchers, slimming world, all those things never worked for me, to complicated, telling you what you should eat and not etc Plenty of water theory again, it is rubbish, and i do not really like water! You do you, but what i do works every time, and most people would not stick to it,as i have never had more than 1300 cals a day at the very most! I do not have fast food on it anyone, but i do occasionally save up cals to go for a meal, or have a take away, or go out drinking, but it is not a regular thing! I don't eat breakfast, as not hungry in mornings, and i try and save more cals for the evening as that as when i want them more, and i am a night owl, so i have always ate very late at night! Also just remember Diet Pepsi is not a sugar drink, none in it, and in my opinion it is lovely, but i can not drink diet coke, hate the stuff! You see my way is not a typical way, but it is plain and simple and works, and would work for anyone, but not many will stick with it, only way i know, no one said it was easy lol

Totally agree with you. And most of those are already highly taxed

Thank you, exactly, was the sugar tax not a tax on overweight people

Nonsensical program filler you are correct

Is edema a result of excess fluid intake?

​@@hiromiw649 Sounds like excuses... Unless you can point to a reliable source for this?

She is awful.

Eat less exercise more 🙄

And many have ended up in hospital because of exercise etc heart attack , sprains , broken bones , high blood pressure .

@@richardlynch6927 eat less then

@@richardlynch6927 eat less then

If only it was that easy , for many there body doesn’t behave that way for those with weight issues , the body will shuts down and they even put more Weight on due to fluid . Even if your a moderate size , as you know some can just look at food and put weight , some can eat little food and put weight . There are many with emotional and mental health issues , I think eating less may work for a minority of cases .

She's not exactly the slimmest guest they've ever had either.

Yes they should.

@@Subtleknife12367 Yeah, well that's not how we do things in the UK mate and nobody needs to hear your ignorant views.

Hello nice to meet you 😊

it's just as dangerous to cross the road, so should EVERYONE that gets injured in the streets pay for medical?

Exactly. Fresh fruit , some vegetables and tinned tuna for eg , cost no more than pizzas, Deliveroo and just eat .

@@williammorris1384 your body needs meat and other things too, you cannot totaly live on fruit and veg your body needs and not all live on pizzas and sandwiches , but most weight gain comes from illness or drugs

@@lyndasmith8068 No , I disagree. Some weight gain is medically related , but most of it is a life style choice . A tuna salad for example, is a healthy, easy to prepare dinner, that could serve 4 easily. But it’s easier to dial a pizza . We are an inherently lazy society and fast food companies have exploited this, for years now.

Tuna has plastic bits in its not good for you as it's been proven as plastic waste is in our seas and bread is not all good for you either and you need a varied diet but there are those with health conditions affecting their weight

@@lyndasmith8068 Yes ; as I mentioned, there certainly are people who have conditions that are difficult to treat . I do wish these people a successful recovery or management of their symptoms.

Is constitutional thinness a choice?
