I agree fat people and smokers should not receive any treatment that would cost taxpayer dollars.

If they die? then so be it.

I think ignorant morons are in the majority.
Which explains why Obama got elected twice and why his minions want other people to die just because they do things that they don't like.

I could care less if you smoke or over eat. Keep on doing it if that's what you feel the need to do.  It's stupid though, and if you do it, you ought to be required to pay for your own medical expenses.

BTW I have my OWN health insurance because I have a good job because I went to college and show up every day to work.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Faced with the high cost of caring for smokers and overeaters, experts say society must grapple with a blunt question: Instead of trying to penalize them and change their ways, why not just let these health sinners die?

Annual health care costs are roughly $96 billion for smokers and $147 billion for the obese, the government says. These costs accompany sometimes heroic attempts to prolong lives, including surgery, chemotherapy and other measures.

But despite these rescue attempts, smokers tend to die 10 years earlier on average, and the obese die five to 12 years prematurely, according to various researchers' estimates.

BTW I'm a smoker and I'm 6'2" 230lbs
I'm probably considered a fat smoker who will be allowed to die if I get sick. I would rather die than live with these assholes running things
