i think this logic makes no sense and is backwards

obesity has the largest impact on healthcare cost by a large margin. might as well tax the obese now because we will pay them back later by keeping them alive

how about: we don’t need to tax lifestyle choices on anyone. because if you’re serious about increased costs to society you very quickly get to a social credit system. where you can show you don’t drink or smoke, aren’t fat, don’t take part in dangerous activities…
