The list of people we pay for through Medicare and Medicaid are endless. We pay for the people who work 60+ hours a week and suffer the predicted stress-related illnesses. We pay for clean-livers who spend a decade in nursing homes with Alzheimers, etc.
Let's not turn on each other for totalitarian reasons.

I'm not sure what I said that inspired you to write, "Let's not turn on each other for totalitarian reasons", but if I mispoke somewhere I do apologize.

Yes, "the list of people we pay for through Medicare and Medicaid are endless", I agree with that and your other examples as well. I used people who over-indulge in food and the medical consequences of that behaviour as another example.
