If you can't take care of yourself, someone has to take care of you...or else you're just costing me money.

Sorry...you're not FREE to cost ME money. If health care ever became socialized, I would not mind paying for you....until then, stop costing me money.

Insurace = socialized healthcare. So if you don't mind paying for others if healthcare is socialized, then stop minding paying for others.

Me, I don't want to pay for anyone else's healthcare be it through insurance or otherwise.

Not much different in this country(overweight = higher insurance), weird that the extra cost is placed on the employer there though.

I thought it was just the fact they have no damn seats in the train stations.

The scheme sort of fits with the Japanese psyche.
