Burger King Promoting Obama Care?

An astute writer notes that fast-food chain Burger King may be part (unintentionally, that is) of the Barack Obama and the Democrat's effort to promote their version of health care. The Democrats plan is in essence that someone else should pay for your health care. A re-distributive health care scheme. And Burger King ad explicitly states that:

The problem with government picking up the bill is that when people are shielded from the consequences of foolish behavior they will likely repeat it instead of reform.

When the government pays for health care costs incurred through fatty foods, then people will most likely eat more than if they had to pay for their own, say, heart burn medicine.

And Burger King is promoting the Obama message: do not take personal responsible, don't worry because someone else will pay for it. Of course, there are people sickened due to natural causes and maybe society should pay for their medical bills.

But it remains a fact that American medical bills are so high due to poor diet and little exercise. Much of the burden of health care could be avoided. Many Americans do get sick and ask for government aid precisely because they eat at Burger King ect.

These people need to cover their own costs. It is nothing short of immoral to ask people working hard to maintain good health to be taxed to pay for the medical bills of fatty. Sorry that is only fair. I mean, come on, does she deserve the sympathy of the taxpayer?:
