Why should I have to pay for an obese person? They might incur expensive medical complications.

Why should I pay for people with sick children. They miss more days at work than single people. Why should I let them trash MY profits? I didn't have the kid.

Why should I pay for people who are sexually promiscuous?
Why should I pay for people who have mental illnesses?
Why should I have to pay taxes? After all, they interfere with my "right" to maximize profits.

I think it would be better if business people didn't have the responsibility of health care. I simply don't think it's any of my employer's business what choices I make on my time, providing they are legal.

I don't really want a "big brother" business scrutinizing my choices.

I also don't think your "right" to maximize your profits supercedes my right to privacy outside of the workplace.
