I guess I wouldn't find it disgusting if I wasn't one of the many bearing the cost of their health care. I didn't say nor did I mean to imply that I can't see the value in people regardless of their condition in life. I just don't want to pay for their care when they end up with diabetes, cancer, etc. I feel the same way about people who ride motorcycles without wearing helmets. I think they should have the right to make the choice but when they end up with injuries I don't want to bear the burden of their care. Maybe "disgusting" is too harsh a word but, then again in these economic times, maybe not.
