It's a simple point, 'tardo. People tend to easily spend other people's money, but when it comes to their own money, they are usually pretty conservative. People having to pay health-care costs gives people an incentive to take care of themselves, because it's on their dime. Socialized health-care spreads the burden so thin that people have less of that incentive. Americans are fat fucks for other reasons; I never implied it was the only variable. Hell, I never even implied that it was the case. Socialized health-care isn't going to make things better, though.
