If we get Obama and socialized health care, will he be forced to stop smoking?

Question

I believe a central tenet of all socialized healthcare schemes is that the subjects (oops I mean people) are forced to undergo regular checkups as mandated by the bureaucrats who know all, and make lifestyle changes to conform to the common good. Under this scenario, and of course after President Obama waits in line with all of the little people to get his checkup, will his bureaucratic health manager require that he stop smoking?

Answer 1

My hope is that he starts smoking more and has medical problems from it. Just enough to get him out of office.

Answer 2

Yes.  I thought I heard he stopped...but if not, yes.  I would expect him to quit smoking.

Answer 3

Tobacco, he will stay with the crack pipe however.

Answer 4

I'd say, in any given week, I do about 15 minutes of real, actual work.  

Answer 5

The way I see it, if all of these people decide that they have the "right" to reach into my life and seize my assets to pay for their health care, then I should also have the "right" to reach into their lives and force them to make lifestyle changes to reduce my costs. No?

Answer 6

Oh yeah, Obama stands in line with the rest of us...and Ted too, for his wont of specialized medicine and doctors...ha, you made me laugh today.  Thanks!

Answer 7

Smoking tobacco, like smoking marijuana, is bad for your health, and subjects, I mean citizens, should be forced to stop under penalty of law.

Only our government can save us from ourselves.

Seat belts, motorcycle helmets, alcohol, smokes, etc.

In time, we will come for the fat people.

Remember, it's for YOUR OWN GOOD, right?

It's FOR THE CHILDREN.

It's FOR NATIONAL SECURITY.

It's FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
