>I realize it's a touchy subject, but I think it's a mistake to not stigmatize obesity
Where do we stop then? Depression can often be avoided or cured by changing to a more healthy lifestyle. Should those with depression and a not-so-healthy lifestyle also be stigmatized and have no health insurance?
Depression should not be stigmatized, but neither should we turn a blind eye. Those suffering from depression and obesity should have access to the resources they need to tackle those issues, and should be encouraged to seek them out.
And no one should be denied health insurance for any reason, obviously. (Unless you're proposing abolishing private health insurance completely, in which case yes please.)
