why should I subsidize people who don't take care of themselves?
Just yesterday Oprah featured a show on diet. So many illnesses are
result of eating junk foods. And meat!
An ounce of prevention....
Let's attack the causes of dis-ease not some financing of the results.

What makes you think you're not already subsidizing people practicing
[insert a vice here] inside your private insurer's pool? As far as I can
tell, insurance is still going to be insurance after 2014, i.e. a
financial device for spreading the risks around as big a pool of people as
possible. In fact, the bigger pool the better, and what can be bigger than
a whole country?

I'm not sure what that statement has to do with last year's health
care reform thing, or which side you're trying to be on.
