I follow with interest the many demands for governments to produce more doctors and nurses for our healthcare system.
May I suggest that we focus more efforts on the root of the problem? We need fitnesscare! How?
There are many options. Start by removing all taxes from bicycles. From the simplest tricycle to the most expensive mountain bike, no matter what you do on a bike, some combination of heart, lungs and muscles get exercised.
Allow tax credits for gym memberships and sports fees for more than just children. Put lottery money into improving urban trail networks. Others will have tons more ideas than me.
Let’s get going! Be idle no more!
