Right on!
And I do not want to pay for cancer treatment for smokers.
I don’t want to pay for illegal aliens, or anybody else for that matter: Show me in the U.S. Constitution where it states that the Federal, State or local governments pay for health care!!
Doesn’t the rule about posting pictures apply to cute guys? I’d like to see some pictures of this hottie.
Sounds like a libertarian.
It’s not just fat people and smokers - promiscuous gays with AIDS, promiscuous heterosexuals with STDs, drunks injured in car crashes,...the list goes on & on.
Sorry, but Ashton Kutcher and anyone else that thinks he is right has missed the point by a country mile.
You, I, and Ashton should not be paying for anyone else period, no matter what the circumstances.
I am responsible for my family and myself, period!
If I choose to give charity, that’s my CHOICE, not something forced on me at the point of a gun by the Government.
If they will deny hip replacements to grandma do they think that they are going to keep pouring pricy AIDS cocktails to those with limited life expectancies
Who would better be the poster child for a behavior predicated condition?

Wasn’t he studying microbiology in college before going in to acting? Seriously.
The important comment was Zinni’s. It is little known outside the military, but ever since Dwight Eisenhower, there has been a strong core of military officers that refuse party affiliation.
While as many as over 90% of senior officers are supportive of Republican policies, and have some very deep grudges with the Democrats, and outright abhor their policies, they firmly believe that it is their constitutional obligation to not officially align themselves with a political party.
Remember that all military personnel swear to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States. And nowhere in that document are political parties even mentioned. So affiliation with a party is seen by some as “having two masters”.
While this may seem a minor argument, it is not. If these officers are ordered to violate the constitution of the United States, they will not do so, for any reason, especially politics.
He is an Iowa boy. Other than Iowa City most Iowans can at least articulate some degree of common sense on issues.
The toy boy admitted he voted right in 2000, then got pu$$y whipped and went wrong. No freedom loving American can trust him.
It sounded great until the last sentence!
The foolish bastard that requires a tripple-bypass from eating fried Snickers bars and fast food is no concern of yours if he does it all on his dime, Asston!
If he is on the public dole then you are right, although somewhat cold-hearted, let him go TU!
The real rub is in what arbitrary way do you wish to judge one person piously virtuous but another morbidly decadent?!
This conversation should not be happening!
National health care gives everyone the OK to dictate the behaviors of their neighbor. If you think HOAs are a pain in the ass, just wait until the neighborhood health corps starts picking through your trash, monitoring your exercise regimen and making sure your sexual practices are “safe”.
Kutcher has, since I first noticed him, been one of the few Hollywood celebs I could even stand to watch just being himself, in an interview or whatever. Never knew his politics, but he always seemed fairly likable and not so full of himself as most celebs. And, maybe he's even more on the ball than most of us realized.
Ashton Kutcher’s wife will be a senior citizen in a few years!
“Frankly, I don’t want to pay for the guy who’s getting a triple-bypass because he’s eating fast food all day and deep-fried snickers bars. I don’t want to pay for him! Whether he’s wealthy or he’s not!”
Unfortunately, the government will take that idea as a perfect opportunity to put a massive sin tax on fast food and deep-fried snickers bars so everyone... healthy or not... has to pay.
Oh please...they will be monitoring and policing certain behaviors to punish such lifestyles. It all ties together. Obesity is such an easy target.
I would be more impressed if kuscher said, I don’t want to pay for all the AIDS treatments for those choosing the homosexual lifestyle, rich or poor.
He didn’t quite have the nerve to say he didn’t want to pay for bath house habbituees, but a step in the right direction.
