like, nothing about obesity or smoking changes the terms of the UHC bargain -- we cover everyone, driving risk for the pool down on average, and negotiate lower prices on top of that, which is better than the current system where we spend a shitload of public dollars (more than countries with UHC!) and cover less people

Basically. We are already paying the costs of obesity and smoking. The federal government insures the poorest and oldest, and the rest of us pay premiums (much of the burden of which falls on employers).
