a bad diet only effects the person eating it. a child with an infectious disease is a threat to many other people. that why we quarantine them. are you unable to tell the difference between protecting the population from n outside threat and protecting a person from yourself? if your a 500 pound junk food addict it does not affect me. but if you have Ebola than I want the government to keep you away from me so that I do not get infected. your argument is absurd. anything can be carried to an absurd extreme but that not a rational argument against anything
Your argument is very rational. But in a health insurance system, or really any healthcare system where doctors treat all life threatening events, the 500lb guy's health problems will likely cost everyone else a little more if he cannot afford those health problems.
