Sounds unconstitutional to me.
- silvestrov 15y agoWould you care to explain your logic behind that judgement? For a non-US citizen, that line of thought can be hard to follow.
- w0utert 15y agoTo be fair, where I live we have subsidized health care and mandatory health insurance for everyone, but still many forms of 'preventative health care' are considered unacceptable, an invasion of privacy or belittlement by the government. For example, nobody is talking about raising taxes on unhealthy food or asking heavy smokers and drinkers to pay more for their health insurance. Or ask them to enroll in some kind of sports or life-style program that would improve their health before it becomes an issue. I would be all for it by the way, but it's basically not part of any discussion by any political party.
- nodata 15y agoI don't think the statement "stop eating badly or you lose your healthcare" would go down well.
- olalonde 15y agoWhy? Sounds like it would fall in the "freedom to contract" category. If you don't want your employer requiring you to take preventive care, go work somewhere else.
- rbarooah 15y agoThe problem with that is that if you are poor, and there is no 'somewhere else' to work then you have no freedom.
