No, it was very much you that suggested that healthcare priority should be based on the evaluation of someone's lifestyle choices.

Good. It's not the governments place to ban people from making unhealty decisions when they don't affect others.

If they weren't put last in priority, then their lifestyle choice wouldn't only be affecting them, would it?

Logically obsese people need also go to the back of the line then. Very unhealthy lifestyle, very expensive for the healthcare system. In fact, everyone that perticipates in any non-government sactioned activity, to the back of the line. We need that healthcare for our superior people!

Ok Adolf.
