Exactly, and that's where we are headed with health care. No smoking, no fast food, you must exercise etc. Employers are already fining people on their health policy for smoking and such. Socialized healthcare is leading down the wrong road.
By your own admition it's a failed program it seems. A: We pay more money to support the healthcare of these unhealthy individuals or B: We begin outlawing anything perceived by masses as unhealty. Both are bad, people should be able to smoke or be fat and lazy if they want, but I shouldn't have to pay for it.
I just don't understand why people won't let me make my own decisions about something as critical as my health. It's mind boggling.
Let's not forget the government will get to decide what is or isn't covered. You want the same government that sends us to needless war and destroys civil liberties to take care of us. You can't possible believe they won't royally fuck healthcare up too.
p.s.
And no, I don't believe healthcare falls in the same category as roads and police, especially at a federal level.
