Would it be fair to tax sodas, candy and fast foods, which may deter some but would burden all?
Here's a clue...

'Insurance' is an action that covers a wide range of people regardless of their specific problems. If you think that you will always be healthy and won't need health insurance at all then go ahead and don't pay your premiums but if you realise that you are part of the general population who at some time of their lives will need healthcare then carry on paying your premiums.
