Do you think this is a good idea for healthcare?

OK, now I don't like Obama or socialized healthcare, but I think it wouldn't be that bad to have socialized medicine under the following conditions:

-$20/pack minimum for cigarettes

-0.5% income tax for each point you are over a BMI of 25 (ie BMI of 30 means 2.5% extra income tax)

-Tax incentives if you can run a mile in 8 minutes

That way, we can have healthcare for the poor masses, without wasting money on problems that people cause themselves.
