I don't think "nanny state rules" would be throwing anyone under the bus. I certainly believe that the collective poor health of the country in general is a good argument against socialized healthcare. But I want it to work. But I don't think that everyone is ready for the responsibility, so we should guide them with a heavy hand. After all, universal healthcare means that everyone must be included.

Just because I happen to be healthier than some of the people around me doesn't mean I am better than them in any way. I meant to highlight that we in the USA don't have to look very far to see why our insurance premiums went up so much.

I think that rather it is a good argument for. If american's people health is so low it's because most people avoid doctors and hospital at all cost.
