That is a completely innocent post, not provoking a flame war or anything.

The government mandating I have to have insurance is a nice sequeway into the govenment telling me what I can and cannot do, as you propose.

I gotta ask, without state funded healthcare, do you really think not having any health insurance is wise? And why?

Nope, but i'm not bitching about Captain Fatso on the plan either. The whole concept of "health insurance" is really just a shared pool of cost for a group of employees or persons covered. If you start saying the drones have to do such and such for cost reasons, hell mandating Logan's Run at 30 reduces costs off the charts.

True enough, but the 'natural' cost of providing healthcare is too high for people. We need some kind of shared pool of cost, or else none of the 'drones' will get any healthcare. I mean, I'm sure you're aware of the problem.

So then isn't it important to try and minimise the impact of poor lifestyle choices on the system? Isn't it just a question of where we draw the line?

Or we could try for a complete overhaul of the medical industry to make it affordable for people, I guess.

Can we get back to sloths now?

If Sloths had affordable medical coverage would they still be hanging out, playing with children in public parks?

Of course they would, they're too lazy to do anything beyond that anyway.
