It all depends on whether you view healthcare as a universal right, I do and as such along with education and defense among other things I view it as something which the government is obliged to provide for all of its citizens. |
Why? Not everyone who eats junkfood is obese? Your targeting people who are healthy but may like junkfood for no reason.
If I like a hamburger every once and again but am balancing that out vs many other healthy activities i'd get screwed.
In fact i can eat junkfood but be way healthier via exercise and making sure i eat the right things outside of that then someone who doesn't eat junkfood.
