I do not want to pay for other peoples choice to be unhealthy and hence have to constantly visit the Dr. The only way I will support Socialist healthcare is if they ban unhealthy food and make exercise mandatory.
That is whats going to happen here. People are going to live the fat life for 30 or 40 years and then when life catches up to them they are all going to go to the doctor and ruin the "free health care for all" system.

There is a difference between a better life and longer life expectancy.
