The government already meddles- might as well have them meddle for good. Better to ask, should the CDC meddle in life styles? If there was a plague, would you want the government to meddle? Of course you would. Well, there is a plague of obesity, and it's probably causing as much death, and pain to people, as any viral or bacterial plague.

I don't think I care whether the states do their health plans individually or whether the plans are done federally. You are basically going for the "little laboratories" argument- where the state plans are seen as little labs for various plans. That's fine. I don't really disagree. It might be better; it might not- but as long as we move forward I don't really care how we take the first steps.
