Should we encourage “personal freedoms” that can, and do, exacerbate these conditions? Especially if our tax money is funding them?

And that gets to the point of the matter, as Eric Blair 2084 has said. When the government is taking care of people's health, the taxpayers and government eventually see a duty to limit people's choices in order to save money.

Let's hope the Supremes overturn Obamacare.

Nanny State PING!

Exactly. The less the government does for me, the less it can justify exerting control over me.

The purpose of the Federal Government was to secure the borders, standardize units of measurement and currency, and safeguard my Rights.

Deciding how much of what I eat or drink is my purview, within the limits of my resources.
