Here's my problem with it. How does that government determine what's a "healthy lifestyle"? I'm sorry, but a lot of modern medicine is not healthy (no offense to any Dr.s, I have nothing but respect for you). There's a lot of Chinese medicine out there that has worked for centuries, but the US gov't consider's them to be "alternative". This also includes things like Tai-Chi and acupuncture.
Then there's the whole thing of HELLO!!! Those people that aren't living well are the ones that need the health care more!!! DUH! Sorry, but if I had cancer, I wouldn't want to first have to prove that I got it from something that was not within my control (like smoking for example). Never mind that people that smoke might need help from a doc to quit, people that over eat might need help from a doc to diet, and that the poor are more likely to live less than healthy lifestyles then the rich, therefore, they need that free health care, and can't afford good care otherwise.

Thanks for sharing, Magik (even if you are a repug, [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] kidding [img]tongue.gif[/img] )
