Actually yours has a whole society to uproot and coerce the labor of in order to have your free care.

But sure, calling unhealthy people making bad choices a bad thing is bigotry. Notably America has quite the reputation for being fat, we must all be cursed with some poor genetics or medical conditions that the rest of the world don't have.

You called the concept of them and similar others costing the rest of society money due to increased insurance and healthcare costs moronic. I provided how they do so, you haven't addressed that at all other than to propose that doctors and medical suppliers should work for free.

I know how insurance works. You don't know my views, and I do not care to explain them to you. And yes. Judging an entire class of people sounds a whole lot like bigotry. Anyways, I'll respect your autonomy and let you keep sipping the sweet nectar of superiority.
