SO, the Govt are suggesting that access to health care should be restricted for patients who are obese or smoke. THey suggest that these patients should have contracts with their GP agreeing on how they will improve their health....

I think making people take responsibility for their health is a good thing,
The doctors can't really dish out good health (although thats what most of expect and want) - thats like expecting them to do your exercise for you
but perhaps charging/contracts is not the best way to do it.
I'll go there instead...
People should be free to smoke and obese people aren't necessarily so simply because they eat too much.
