If someone else is paying for your medical expenses, then they have the authority to make you do healthy things and punish you for doing not so healthy things.<p
The lefties are control freaks.

DING! DING! DING!
We have a winner!
This is no different than young millennials attending a dinner party at their bosses big, beautiful home and saying, “I want this kind of house.” Then being upset when their boss scolds them for being ten minutes late to work every day and leaving early every Friday!
You can’t just “want” that house, you must WORK HARD for that house! You have to make sacrifices for that house! You have to PLAN to make enough money for that house!
Seeing something and wanting it does’t mean it all works out the way you have it in your head!! UGH!
There it is, in a nutshell. And I've seen first hand how people get when it comes to health care. My friend's mother in the last year of her life was constantly battling fevers, nausea, lightheadedness, chronic cough. She was Medi/Medi, so they faithfully hospitalized her every time she "didn't feel good" (she never felt good) and ran every test from rabies to lupus (only a slight exaggeration), kept her in Intensive Care, treated the symptoms, gave her 16 pills a day, never did figure out what was wrong with her other than Chronic Pulmonary issues, diabetes, depression, morbid obesity, restless leg syndrome, and a host of other ailments likely to plague a sedentary, overweight woman in her 70s.
They kept her alive as long as they possibly could. By the time she died, she'd cost taxpayers probably $2M. The last month alone was over $800K, her daughter told me.
They were liberals, so neither felt the slightest discomfort in the massive soaking they gave the system. It was OWED them. She cost the tax payer more than she ever earned in her lifetime, much less what she paid. And so much of it was lifestyle related.
What a bizarre picture! Where did you find that??

I did a Google image search for ‘Potemkin Village’. By the way, I’m quite certain that the image is a Photoshop. But it does make the point!
