It's not the state's role to pay for people's health costs.
..and when they do there will be a LOT more taxes (and probably worse) like this.  It will hurt poor people much more than everybody else.  Who cares if it's against the law to eat a french fry, as long as our medical care is free!

I fail to see how correctly progressive taxes hurt the poor most.
