“Under Obamacare, it will be everyone’s business.”
I reject the “govt is paying so they can tell us what to do” argument the left uses. If thats the case they can tell people who have Obamaphones what they can say. The key point here is that if government doesn’t like paying for smokers or the obese THEY SHOULD GET OUT OF THE HEALTHCARE BUSINESS rather than restricting people’s freedom.
I agree completely. But if people want socialized medicine (or elect people who champion socialized medicine), then they should deal with the consequences. I used to be 60 pounds overweight. I lost it and I have kept it off. I put great effort into trying to live a healthy lifestyle. I frankly don’t want my taxes going up because someone else thinks that being obese is a civil right. If the healthcare is socialized, it’s my business if you abuse yourself. I’ll have to pay for it.
Oh is that bullying? Cry me a river.
