Then if your kid ends up costing tax payers 1 million in health care costs, it should be the parent's right to pay the bill.
Just as with smoking, or drinking, or taking cocaine. If health suffers as a result of your own actions, it doesn't just affect the individual, it affects society in general. How do you match that reality to the "right to be fat" ? And I believe in universal health care. I don't believe any person should die because they cannot afford to pay for the care that would save their lives or improve their quality of life. I think lives lost that way are a tragedy and an indictment on that particular society and its structures.
