If this thing gets past it is going to destroy health care, because it completely eliminates any direct finical responsibility from the participants. Once that becomes a problem then it will be in the public’s interest to dictate a healthy life style and there goes our freedom. I also heard that there was a 5 cent a can tax on soda.

I’m not sure WTF you’re talking about. I’m pretty certain it’s in everyone’s best interest to live as healthy a lifestyle as possible- people live longer that way. Perhaps this will actually make people more aware of the need to live healthy.

And as far as a tax on soda? I welcome it. The stuff is garbage that does nothing for your body. I quit drinking them regularly years ago and only drink them occasionally. I don’t miss it at all, and for folks who think that those who make bad decisions should have to pay for them- I would think a soda tax would be up their alley.
