Not really so. It is not personal responsibility because other people/society will be paying medical costs.
If you are irresponsible and fat - other responsible people will share your medical bills basically (not directly).
It is not isolated incident - every society member suffers from higher total medical bills.
So basically it aligns exactly with my anti leftist views (rip off highest earners and "redistribute" to lazies). In this case rip off those who take care of their health to pay those who deliberately do not take care of it.
As for liberal, when I did the political leanings test posted by mark prince, I came out +- in the center, very slightly to the right. Meaning on some issues I was on the right, on some on the left, on some in the middle.
