tax all products un-nutritiously high in processed sugar, sodium, fructose corn syrup; tax McDonald's, Dominoes, BK and all the fast food chains; slap a big fat juicy tax on the firearms industry; and for good measure the producers and users of pollutants in our environment.
Cost of universal health care solved.
There is another glaring example that the myth of capitalism and free markets is really a sham.
This industry is actually oligopoly that begs for and receives government bailouts. Why doesn't any scream and shout about these corporate welfare queens milking the system out of tax payer money?

Using the OP's arguement we should tax anyone who is diagnosed with or seeks treatment for sexually transmitted diseases. No doubt that STD's are a greater cost to the American healthcare system than bullets fired by criminals who obtained and possessed their firearms illegally.
Why not tax a person for every year they grow older as well because aging means more health care treatment, in general.

Those that make statements about national security should investigate the posted links.
Actually, I'd suggest we do an extra tax on anything labeled "organic". If people can afford to pi** away the extra money on this little marketing gimmic, they can afford to pay more in taxes. Get something for society from people with more money than brains.
Tax everyone and everything, including the dead.
The Vatican did this with some success during the crusades.
