Just tell people what is healthier

Once I weighed 240 pounds. Now I weigh about 180. The method I used to lose that weight is going to kill me, or so say most dietitians.
I have a friend -- a libertarian friend -- who says the best thing that could happen to America would be for businesses to stop paying their employees' health insurance.

That's also the opinion of conservative economist Milton Friedman, who says health care is a commodity much like food and automobiles. Our employers don't provide us with food or cars, he says. Why should they provide us with subsidized health care?
