That they may but the fact still remains there is a major obesity issue in NYC
and as such, excessive health issues that will probably cost the taxpayers more
$.  So it's a two fold issue.  Health of the people and health of your
pocketbook.

The mandate wouldn't effect me as I don't drink soda pop but those who go to
extremes drinking it will, as I stated above, effect my pocketbook.  I'm
surprised you don't see it that way as well, afterall, we don't want to see
anymore money going to healthcare as it is now. Right?

Have a good evening...
