I don't care about how long this woman lives.
All I care is that everyone else will be paying for her medical bills.

I wish all obese people pay for their own treatments and are left to rot if they can't afford.

Duh... She lives in New Jersey, US. I didn't know EVERYONE is so kind enough to pay for her medical bills in the US.

For someone with that kind of obesity, she's most likely on Medicaid which is funded by my income.

The bill that's being passed right now is a much more toned down version of the original plan.  The problem is not the healthcare system, it's the general mentality of Americans.  In a way they are like HK citizens, except that they don't save.

Basically, people here want the best for themselves and they want to maintain their standard of living no matter what happens elsewhere.  If they can't afford it, they blame it on somebody else.

Take employment as an example.  Some people complain that engineers from India and China are taking over their jobs.  But if someone else can live with 50% of your income, why can't you?

I think capitalism is great but US is no longer a capitalisitic country.

Actually part of it was Social Security.  I should correct my mistake.

But in the end, both programs are now "supported" by the Treasury, so everything is altogether essentially.
