I don't see how that's relevant to my point. In Australia, you have freedom to eat what you want, and if you don't stand up for that, you won't in the future.

> We have free healthcare already.

Free as in beer, but unfree as in freedom. Also, even beer as to be paid for by somebody.

I as a tax payer support the healthcare in part. I'd be happier if other people were healthier, as I'd be paying less.

Don't get me wrong, I love our healthcare system. I am trying to explain the reasoning for the authors post.
