You don't think so? I do. When our government's finances are getting wiped out by the rising costs of health care and we are faced with increasing my taxes to feed American's insatiable addiction to food that's unhealthy for them, I think it is very much in our nation's interest to start educating Americans as to the need to stop their gluttonous behavior and start exercising more or face discriminatory health care pricing. You want free markets? I do too. So let's let health insurance companies have tiered pricing based on your BMI, cholesterol, and other risk category statistics. Then people like me who take care of themselves will pay less and those who don't will pay more and our government won't be stuck with the bill for those who are wantonly destroying their own health. So you want a free market? It's put up or shut up time.
