I am against a national health system for as long as there is an obesity epidemic. A war amputee is disabled, a blind person is disabled, a fat is not disabled.

Honestly the Medicare system here in Australia would be so fucking amazing if there was no obesity.

Edit typo.

While we today qualify obesity as a disability, let's face it - it's a 'disability' that can be cured. They can go on a diet and work out and they'll lose weight and no longer be disabled. A blind or deaf person cannot simply 'work on it' on their own and suddenly be abled. Sure, they may be able to have surgery or use devices to assist them, but it's not something that they can do on their own.

Plus, obesity is a disability of choice - fats CHOOSE to shovel food into their mouth. A soldier going to war doesn't WANT to come home missing his legs

I really don't want to give the rainbow brigade free healthcare.
