Allysia Finley: Coffee Is an Essential Benefit Too – WSJ.com.

Who defines a health benefit? Under Obamacare, health bureaucrats decide. What if they’re wrong? I have my own definition of health that doesn’t jibe with the traditional, mainstream definition. As Allysia Finley writes in this humorous piece, coffee should be a benefit as it makes workers more productive, and provides health benefits against Alzheimer’s, depression, and diabetes. I would add wine and whisky as a benefit. Wine has been shown to have numerous health benefits for your heart and digestive system. A good stiff drink has been shown to increase the happiness and longevity of those who imbibe with moderation.

Will those items be defined as a benefit in Obamacare? Never. But Finley makes the point about the absurdity of government health mandates and the slippery slope we are going down if the Supreme Court upholds Obamacare.
