"We'uns in the liberty-lovin' US of A don't have a national health care service, so we don't sweat the burgeoning health crisis"

I dont think you know how insurance companies work. More people claiming more makes EVERYONES premiums go up.

Think about it, if I pay in £200 a month in health insurance, Im a member for 2 years and then make a claim for 15k the insurance company is out of pocket.

So obese people in US hospitals insured or not IS costing you money, like it or not.
