Mr. President,
On the grounds that neglecting my own personal safety can result in higher costs to all of us the government alreadys requires that:
1. I wear a seat belt while driving.
2. I wear a helmet while riding a bike. Or driving a motorcycle.
3. Pay enormous taxes on cigarettes if I choose to smoke.
4. I pay enormous taxes on alcohol if I choose to drink.
Etc. you get the idea. How will you insure that the government will not use the fact that my neglect of my own health (should I choose to eat more than you would like or drink more than you would like or not exercise as much as you would like) will not become a health care ‘crime’?
