How do you know?

>You say you disagree but what follows has nothing to do with my point. Every year we have a push for healthy eating in the uk.

Yes it does, because what governments promote as healthy eating is actually unhealthy. Further contributing to the problem.

> I will admit that funding is slowly drying up for the nhs but that has far more to do with companies lobbying for an american based healthcare system.

No it’s because your voters elect politicians that starve NHS funding in favor of more politically expedient spending. Universal healthcare doesn’t work because the democratic mob is greedy.

>In my experience that isn't what actually happens though. In for profit healthcare, solving problems isn't profitable and therefore rarely happens. It's much better to mislead the consumer and give short term solutions.

Nah, for profit healthcare has continuously lead the way in technological and productive advancements for centuries. What you’re describing can only happen if market competition is stifled, like under socialism where the state has monopoly control.
