In principle, I agree with Universal healthcare, but the following must first happen: shut down the fast food and junk food industries. Make smoking uncool. Smoking became cool through media association of status with smoking. The reverse can be done with great efficacy. UNTIL this happens, I wouldnt support it. No way in hell I want to pay for the healthcare of some fat slob who chain smokes, eats poorly, makes poor lifestyle decisions and expects society to be Mommy. Grow the fuck up first, then we can talk. Reduce obesity by 90%. This can be done. In the 1950's there were VERY VERY few fat americans. Americans eat TOO damn much food. The shitty food we eat is responsible for MANY MANY health problems.
