Isn't it great we get to choose?
No. Not if I have to pay for your heart-lung machine, or your chemotherapy or your tracheotomy. Your addiction hurts all of us.

Here is your post. Just so you know, government confiscation of your cash for health care is the socialism, and your dictation of which behaviours will result in the loss of the benefit is the fascism part. BTW, 2+2=4.

So, we can all agree that government meddling in health care is costing us all to much and my solution is to eliminate the government meddling, while your solution is to dictate behaviours. Which option protects individual liberty and freedom? Which is fascist?

You're being silly. Regardless of whether or not conservatives ever succeed in axing Medicare and other such socialist nonsense (my guess is we probably won't) I don't want to pay for your addiction. I want less money coming out of my pocket to subsidize your addiction, certainly not more. I certainly want fewer people to smoke, but where the hell did I suggest that government ban smoking? You're profoundly delusional.
