Giving people tax breaks for getting a gym membership isn’t going to solve that. Especially if that person can’t afford the upfront costs in the first place. The only people who would for sure benefit from that kind of policy are the ones who are already voluntarily spending money on staying fit and clearly don’t need the added incentive. Basically they’d be receiving a handout with no guarantee of actually reducing overall healthcare costs.
