That's a choice. Those costs don't have to be paid by the public.

ACA prohibits charging people more for insurance based on their weight, so those costs are paid for by the public.

Right. And that is a choice that was made. You could make a choice to set up a framework to charge them more for their decisions. Instead you and the progressive public are choosing to accept the cost, and then complaining about that cost.

Oh right, I totally forgot that I can just waive my magic wand and change that for everyone, so I have no right to complain.

I guess while I'm at it I might as well waive the magic wand so everyone has perfect health, right? Cut straight to the chase.

What? I can't do that?

Could you believe the audacity I have to point out that under the current status quo, unhealthy people are having their healthcare costs subsidized by healthy people? Because that's fundamentally how insurance works?
