The only thing government administrations care about people wise are predominantly votes and taxes.
As far as taxes? What is the US debt? And what are they going to raise again?
I say it’s more about buying votes / elections even if you have to print funny money.

Why should the United States government care about people's health when 70% of the population is obese or overweight and doesn't care about their own health?
What a strange argument, the government doesn't care about you, has never cared about you and will never care about you.
600K+ people died in one year falling off their roofs cleaning gutters?
All they need is someone in charge to tell them to ignore the border crisis and stay paranoid about a disease that kills less people than people killed falling off their roof cleaning leaf gutters
The 600K+ is inflated due to how the CDC told hospitals to count deaths "with Covid" rather than because of Covid.
Because is no about health of the people, is all about profiting from the people, the more sick the more money to be made for treatments.
Coerced sterilization is a shameful part of America’s history, and one doesn’t have to go too far back to find examples of it. Used as a means of controlling “undesirable” populations – immigrants, people of color, poor people, unmarried mothers, the disabled, the mentally ill – federally-funded sterilization programs took place in 32 states throughout the 20th century. Driven by prejudiced notions of science and social control, these programs informed policies on immigration and segregation.
Such legislation was motivated by crude theories of human heredity that posited the wholesale inheritance of traits associated with a panoply of feared conditions such as criminality, feeblemindedness, and sexual deviance. Many sterilization advocates viewed reproductive surgery as a necessary public health intervention that would protect society from deleterious genes and the social and economic costs of managing ‘degenerate stock’.”
My question is, now that we have established that the government can intervene in health care decisions for the greater public good or to save on insurance costs, how far back in time are we going here?

You do not tell people what to do with their bodies. Period/end of story! Who are you to judge?
I don’t know why is that so hard of a concept for you to grasp.
I don’t care if you have a religious or moral objections. I do not care.
