1 :
We should be like the "Caves of Steel", then we can all eat at government run kitchens. Might as well carry the nanny state to it's logical conclusion.
2 :
They can't demand better food habits, but they can certainly promote healthier lifestyles.
3 :
They also may not treat your parents if they're over a certain age and don't meet Dictator Obama's standards for a "quality of life."
4 :
Every other developed nation has some kind of universal health care. Do ANY of them ban fast foods? No. Some pass laws to make healthy foods more attractive, to break the grip that fast-food has in the US. For instance mandating certain benefits for fast-food workers, or raising the minimum wage, or subsidizing farmers. None of them ban unhealthy foods, or refuse help to fat people.
5 :
National health care will essentially put the government in control - and that's not much wiggle room or gray areas in the word "control."
6 :
They will need to in order to avoid bankrupting the country with obesity-related illnesses.
7 :
Fast food, soft drinks, junk food will all be taxed. And I would about bet salt, coffee, tea and alcohol would also be taxed along with anything else they think is "bad" for you.
8 :
Thanks to Obama and the Democrats, you can look forward to the government micro-managing what you eat, how much you exercise, basically everything. It's the first step toward a socialist state.
9 :
It's uh, not happening, they finished health care reform, no universal health care.
10 :
The only way they can "demand" better food habits is through taxes on junk food, fast food, soda, etc. A lot of people think this is controversial, but we've been taxing cigarettes for years because we know it leads to lung cancer, just like we know junk food leads to obesity.
