I do not think that is a fair comment. You sound like people should die because they eat oreo's and ice cream. If they want to die they will do that on their own. The State's here have already opposed Obama care. I am not for Obama Care, but the costs of health care are so high that we cannot afford it. We tried to get a medical plan for myself as I am not old enough for Medicare. The Premium was so high that I cannot afford to use the plan. And there are co-pays and exclusions. I worked for 25 years. I have 2 pensions but not enough to cover medical care and dental care. At this time I am in dire need of dental care. I cannot afford that. And the cost of living keeps going up. Errisa laws prevent my husband from working and he is 76. This goes on and on. We need affordable health care. The health insurance companies are sending people to India or Singapore for surgery. Even they think it is too high.
My friend who waited two years for her Disability to arrive, used up all of her medical care in 6 months. She had too many health problems and bills because she waited so long for her disability. She is not overweight. She has kidney, heart and Meniere's disease. I have Meniere's disease. There is no cure for it. no medical clinical trials because there is no cure and no money in that. There are no known drugs to stop the progression of the ear and hearing being destroyed. It has an unknown cause.These are the problems in the USA.
Saying that people who get sick do not deserve health care, is harsh. What about caring? I will lose my hearing eventually. I think that is not something I like.

The government, pandering to well-heeled financial interests, makes
healthcare exceedingly expensive. And that same regime seeks to make it
difficult for us to access foods that are healthful, like pastured raw milk.
Meanwhile, the rest of us are expected to subsidize the healthcare of those
whose idea of a good time is to smoke, drink, and eat Oreos and Haagen
Dasz.
