I could see national health care if they went about it appropriately. Set a community rate for a healthy lifestyle. If you smoke there's a 30% surcharge, if your fat then it's a 40% surcharge, smoke and fat it's 50%. If you live in California where earnings are high there is a surcharge for that. After all we don't want to subsidize well off people's health care on the backs of the poor in Arkansas and Mississippi. They're human too and have a right to health care without subsidizing the upper class. I could think of dozens of other equalizing factors also without even getting into genetic testing.
