They should make it like car insurance, force people with unhealthy habits to pay a surcharge. What's socialist about it is that everyone is treated the same regardless of their health.

Whats socialist about it is that its NONE OF THE GOVTS BUSINESS. Let the market do its thing.
All of this is EXACTLY why government should not be involved in insurance or healthcare. We get dangeroulsy close to infringing on the rights of citizens.
