Ok this one is similar to the previous, the only difference is
that instead of drugs we are talking about another medical condition that we
ourselves place ourselves in. In this case becoming overweight and obese
due to our eating habits. Time to discuss again.
Government should not pay!!!: Here we go, the government should
not pay a single cent toward your health care if you get a disease due to you
over eating. We again must be responsible to ourselves and pay our own
way for something that is our own fault. Government should thus, not pay
a single dime while compelling taxpayers to meet the costs. You can have your
private healthcare pay for it, a charity, or yourself, no one else.
Splitting hairs again: As I stated, Libertarians believe
in personal responsibility. And getting fat and needing a forklift just
to escape your house is the same as committing slow suicide. You should not
have others obliged to pay for your own faults and mistakes in
life. Sure there are exceptions, like those predisposed to diabetes
and thus cannot help their condition, but the rest are a nonstarter.
Basically, you must have been born with the disease or genetically
predisposed to get the disease to get any aid as this is not a life choice in
this case. Those who become overweight and obese by choice due to their
eating habits will not get a thing for they made a choice (in this case it must
be directly linked to their physical condition from overeating).
Conclusion: This again is about making people
uncomfortable in their own shoes. How are we supposed to pay for the life
choices of others when we ourselves are struggling? Government has no
right to tax us to help those who place themselves into harm’s way.
Again, I am sorry for being harsh, but you made the decision to make
yourself unhealthy, so you have to fix it and hope that someone is charitable
enough to possibly help you.
