“A study shows that people are more likely to take care of their health if they could afford it”

There, fixed it.

No, this study actually puts hard numbers on it, not just "more likely". That's far more useful than your summary.

Just because something seems intuitively obvious does not mean it is true, and it certainly doesn't mean government institutions will accept it as fact. If a credible, peer reviewed scientific study demonstrates a societal issue that is a small step towards real change.

My man. If we didn't adhere to this principle the Earth would still be flat.

Hell government institutions don't accept facts as facts, exactly it's already an uphill task trying to get legislators to actually do their jobs, having facts goes a long way to helping, and it's still an uphill task.

Even if the study showed that people accepted to be destitute in order to afford treatment, would that change the political outcome? Is it ok then?

I am eargerly waiting for the results of the studies that will finally shed some light on whether poor people sleeping in the streets live as long as well fed and housed people. Finally once we have these results we can show them to the political class, thay were only waiting for facts!

Bold of you to pretend they care. There is a sizable portion of conservative politics based on government NOT doing anything.

The point of these studies is that we this should be able to provide objective proof of how horrible our healthcare system is, but people apparently don't value science.

I’m actually fascinated by a lot of these studies. But these titles actually detract quite a bit.

There are multiple reasons, but one of them is that hood careers are somewhat dependent on publishing.

Most posts on this sub are actually common sense, I don't bother reading the links because they usually have no actual science
