Of course we're now obfuscating the original argument that revocation of insurance = death.

Many type 2 are elderly, and it's more akin to other organ failure that happens as we age.

And anyway, if we should treat people with drug and alcohol addictions with humane kindness, the same goes for everyone. People don't enjoy being overweight and ill, it's practically pushed on them from all sides nowadays.

Education and preventative care for every person would also reduce things like our obesity epidemic, not to mention more regulations on the companies making the monstrous shit that causes it in the first place. Not everything boils down to individual "choice".

Seems like we are destined for those 3 things to be made weaker soon, just when we need them to improve.

Agreed the idea that sickness is only sickness if it was accidental is foolish as I said a" Proper" deals with all elements of health in a populous weather by choice or not

And not matter what were all still paying regardless

I don't know....I guess for the same reason that I'm obligated to pay for republicunt trophy wars, tax cuts for rich motherfuckers and 7 investigations of fucking Benghazi.

And we're still paying to prop up our drug lords against their drug lords.

Dieting and exercising are within an individual's control, the examples you gave are not. I should not be forced to pay for my fellow citizens' poor behavior. Do you not understand the difference between individual behavior and the actions of a government in a representative republic? Or are you now grasping at anything in an attempt to obfuscate?

Or should we quote your hero and end this with the proclamation "What difference at this point does it make?"? - HRC in the Benghazi hearings.

The actual quote is, 'What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?'. Since you have misquoted Mrs. Clinton, your entire argument is invalid. Aren't you ashamed? Tongue

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
