But hey, NHS insists that you not live on bacon flavored potato chips and soda. Assholes!

Lets not forget, nutrition science isnt anywhere as certain as it gets made out to be. So what if your genetics allow you to maintain a fairly unhealthy diet, but your conditions were caused by some other outside factors? Yet since you eat bacon every day, they deem you unworthy for care.
You have the freedom to educate yourself, and choose a career that will get you the best medical care possible. Prices are so out of control partly because of government involvement. Demand goes through the roof because of government medical programs, and drives up the prices. Thats a simplistic way of looking at it, and there are many more factors involved, but its still true.
Edit: What is going to happen when the government provides healthcare to everybody and no one has to weigh the economic cost for getting every little ache and pain checked out, time and time again? Those current projections of a couple hundred bucks per tax payer are going to fly out the window. Then they have to either raise more taxes, or start coming up with all kinds of lists of acceptable and unacceptable treatments, procedures etc. Less freedom.
