I am curious. How much would you be willing to pay for health care insurance, let's say an HMO with prescription drug benefits and some preventive care?

Or even separating the overweight kids and putting them through a 'Biggest Loser TV Show' type of thing for 6 months. Other adults can do things to reduce the amount of health care they will use as well like monitoring blood pressure and getting simple blood tests, limit drug use, eat healthier food, exercise more, breathe cleaner air, be safe, etc...

The above is the #1 reason why I don't want government in heath care! I have nothing against exercise, proper diet, preventative measures to reduce health risks, etc., I just don't want you or any government bureaucrat telling me I have to do it. If I want to eat a dozen freshly baked, warm cinnamon rolls, with icing, every day and chug down a half gallon of ice cold whole milk (from a real cow), I am going to do it.
