Since the IRS will be forcing me to subsidize the health of others I wish the others would take better care of their diet. I would be a lot happier if Americans ate like the French, Japanese, or even how Americans ate a few decades ago, when they didn't eat much junk food and when children weren't indoors all day. While disease, disability, and accidents are unavoidable, there is a strong correlation between the quality of diet (and lifestyle) and health.

Since the IRS will be forcing many of us to spend money on health care, it would be a serious favor to all of us if we took the time and money to learn about nutrition and cooking healthy meals. I would imagine the savings would be considerable enough to offset some of the cost forced on us by the IRS.

So much of the food in USA grocery stores is processed crap. It's shocking how bad the mainstream food is here. But a lot of times those foods are cheaper and of course better tasting.

People can still make better decisions.

There is no shortage of fresh food in my grocery store. Meat, vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, are there for taking.

I'll mind my own business when we are at the top in terms of being the healthiest nation.

But since socialising health care is taking away *my* income I will walk around saying you should eat better.

Pretty soon HHS will be mandating that everyone have their waistline measured for official compliance like is done in Japan.

Make no mistake about it, Obamacare is in intrusion on privacy, an affront on liberty, and a gateway for the federal government to become a socialist state entity.
