Universal Healthcare would ultimately be cheaper for all of us.

Those fat people are already part of the risk pool you're paying for.

Just because you say so? When does government ever make things cheaper? Until healthcare system finds a way to incorporate lifestyle choices (bad drivers) into premium calculations I don't think so.

Most super fats are on Medicaid.

I don't want to pay for them too, but we already are.

Surely there is a medical system where people pay the consequences for their shitty lifestyles. Obesity will bankrupt a 'free' healthcare system.

Obesity will be no more of a burden on the health care system than it already is. We have a system where we pay for it already.
