'Medicare for All' would require obesity laws

"It seems impossible for any real iteration of "Medicare for All" to succeed without massive amounts of regulation on lifestyle and health choices, or even effective obesity taxes. If the public owns the risk pool of "Medicare for All," then voters will surely demand to mitigate risk as much as possible.

The country under single-payer will make former Mayor Michael Bloomberg's soda taxes and food-nannying look like child's play. Everything from your sugar consumption to your alcohol would become a matter of public regulation, and the public would not only have the power but also the moral right to regulate how people live."
