your healthcare is not free -it is being footed by taxes... Our healthcare is being footed by taxes (medicare/medicaid) or thru private insurance (paid for by an individual or thru a group plan thru an employer) Inmost cases, with the group plan, a non smoking healthy eater who drives a safe car pays exactly the same amount as the smoker, who lives on fast food and drives a motorcycle without a helmet.
the cost of healthcare has no bearing on my argument... it's about the government trying to protect people from themselves... that's not their place to do that.
