Oh dear. Here come the euphemisms. Time to don the Phony Talking Points Retardant Suit.
Yeah, “choice” — like the choice to live a healthy life and then being compelled to fund everyone else’s healthcare costs through my tax payments to the IRS.
Every time I’ll see a pre-diabetic overweight teen slurping down a 32-oz soda, I’ll seethe with resentment that I will have to pay that person’s astronomical health care costs for their rest of their lives.
Healthcare will be more affordable *riiight*. Our taxes will just be so high, we won’t notice the wonderful new low healthcare prices. and forget about choice. /the choice will be: stand in line, or drop dead.
