In a similar vein, the entire bill is predicated on the unjustified moral belief that people are obligated to pay for the health care of individuals who eat and smoke themselves to near death. Essentially, asking people to pay money for something that doesn't benefit them, directly or indirectly. I have no problem contributing tax towards a health care plan that covers accidents, rare diseases, and the youth, but it's highly immoral to force people to help those who refuse to help themselves.

This is the stupidest bill ever. No it's not socialist, nor is that relevant. It just does nothing to address the causes of the high costs for health care, and nothing to make the system more efficient via technology and reduce administrative overhead.
