And a bunch of fat ass, drunken, smokers are enabled to keep contracting and developing avoidable diseases and conditions pushing the system to eventual insolvency.
The best way to improve health is by not abusing it, but now the government will take care of those unwilling to care for themselves.

This causes me to wonder what the return on investment we get from programs like the War on Drugs, War on Tobacco, War on Sugar, War on Fat, M.A.D.D., Teen Pregnancy, etc. Our government beaurocracy slows up the research to such an extent that drug companies often piggyback on European research-actually being forced to outsource overseas in order to save money and try to avoid being accused profiteering.
It is unfortunately an increasingly complicated environment we have chosen to create.
For as much as some of our left wing supporters pick up the mantra: "Don't tell me what to do", they have no compunction of trying to control others who they believe don't know better by supporting laws and regulations that tell them what to do. They're not telling them what NOT to do-they're telling what TO do.

Haven't checked in here for awhile. I see the level of discourse is typically high from commentators named anonymous.
