In this way, the government can help its citizen to maintain healthy. The more expensive these junk food are, the less possible for the customers to buy these items. I’m in favor of this policy.

Without funding it will not be possible to provide health care for all Americans. Funding has to be huge and fair to all citizens. It requires a radical but simple solution and difficult to implement because of the politics of self interest groups. Just as it is simple to inform an obese patient that eating less and exercising more is the answer to weight loss the patient finds it difficult or impossible to implement. At least 70% of chronic health care problems in the USA are a result of unhealthy lifestyles leading to tobacco and obesity related diseases. A successful precedent has been set for taxing tobacco resulting in decline of smoking addiction and secondary health conditions The taxes from tobacco, alcohol along with new federal taxes on unhealthy fats,sugars and fructose in foods and beverages should pay for health care exclusively. The logistics of at what stage of food processing the tax should be imposed can be decided by economic experts challenge grass root constituents across the country along with medical professional organizations like ACP and AMA to request that their legislators begin to consider taxing all foods and beverages like chips, french fries, red meat, sodas. while subsidizing healthy foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, olive oil, fish,nuts etc. This will not only pay for the health care of every American but assist in motivating some to eat healthier at a lower cost.
