Are you obese, a smoker, or drink too much alcohol? Well the NHS will help you quit those three things my giving you money or gift vouchers. Also where is the money coming from you may ask? It comes from Tax-Payers. Yes we are giving money to the government, that goes to the NHS, that will go to unhealthy people that is living a new, healthy life. I'd say it's a stupid idea. I mean, healthy people won't get any thing. I'd say it would encourage people to be unhealthy and then be healthy again just to get some money. Yeah it may be good of an unhealthy person's Point of view, but in the eyes of the healthy it's stupid. I'm not sure whether or not it will apply to Scottish NHS though.
 
Yeah brilliant idea lol

Here's some money eat healthy, yeah right, most likely they'll just get a healthy person to pee in a cup.

And go yeah I'm healthy and this is not a bunch of takeaway receipts, lmao
