the Republican Health Care Plan, because I never get sick.

I'm being slightly ironic, since I actually have a good health-care plan, but I really don't get sick.

However, I don't think others should somehow magically be as healthy as I am. And even if I'm totally down on smoking, and I'm sometimes a bit judgmental about the obese, I NEVER think that bad personal decisions should disqualify someone from health care. Just the results of those poor judgements are punishment enough. People still deserve health care.

Nor should I get to pay lower taxes because I'm healthy. I want a true single payer system, even though it means I might pay higher taxes for it. We are all here to help each other, is my belief.
