"Well, for one, I know nobody wants to pay taxes for anybody else to go to the doctor -- I don't," said Kate Kuhn, 20, of Acworth, Ga. "I don't want to pay for somebody to use my money that I could be using for myself."
You see this in play with the abortion question as it relates to health care. If government gets the strangle hold on health care the bill envisions then how you live becomes a political question. Drink too much wine (or maybe not enough) and the government will be watching. Too many cigarettes? You will only be alloted grade B or C care you wrecker of the public finances. We can have wars on meat eaters. We can have wars on vegetarians. And with a little luck we can bring a few to a premature demise.
A "war" on vegetarians? Those scrawny, wimpy estrogen-infused sticks with teeth? A mild skirmish should be sufficient. A war would be ... ummmm ... overkill?

If you invite the government to tyrannize those you despise, you invite them to tyrannize yourself.

I'm an overweight smoker and drinker (and I like guns) so I figure I'm SOL if things continue as they are currently headed.
The funny part about it is that most of my medical problems are due to either a benign brain tumor caused by 'state of the art' medical treatment in the 50s, or because of 'state of the art' medical treatment in the early 90s.
Take back that OD of cranial radiation or that supposedly curative surgery, and I'd be one hellava lot healthier now.
