Oh, #murica! The greatest nation on earth (not). I'm Canadian, we don't have social security, medicare/aid, private healthcare, or crazy right-wing anti-socialist ideals (to the same extent). And none of our laws affect you. So, breathe deeply. The cost of reforming a fat is less expensive than ER visits, their ongoing healthcare costs, unemployment, etc etc. Edit: also, a nation is made up of its people. I believe we have a social responsibility to make our nation as strong and healthy as possible by providing people with the support they need to become productive and functioning members of society. AHHHHH! A filthy socialist!
