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.

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.
