One can get diabetes from eating way too much junk food, pop, etc. when they knew very well that it was unhealthy.
Someone could have heart problems due to a poor diet as well when continually told by their doctor and family to start eating better, reduce stress, etc.
And someone getting into a car accident? Well that depends on if it was preventable and/or they were responsible for the crash.
Seriously, why should I pay for their idiocy and irresponsibility?
That knife cuts both ways and if everybody was allowed a say on what was covers, what wasn't and how.... then we'd have a system that covers nothing and we'd be right back to private insurance.
Choices in which are none of our personal concern. Chances are, you, like me, will end up having some medical condition that stems from something we shouldn't have been doing in our lives, but did anyways. Maybe you rock climb and fell.... maybe you go jogging and bust up your ankle..... maybe you were talking to someone on a cell phone while driving and get plowed in an intersection because you weren't paying attention...... maybe you smoke, drink too much beer, too much meat, not enough meat, too much grease in your food, not enough veggies, maybe you don't sleep enough..... how much calcium are you taking daily?
and so on and so forth... the fact remains that none of us are perfect and most of the times/reasons why we need our health care to help us out is because of something we should have paid more attention to, but didn't.
The only way to somehow try and avoid costing our health care from our own ignorance or stupidity is to lock ourselves away from the rest of the world, live in a bubble and don't do anything..... and then, maybe then, any illness that comes our way will be justified in being covered by our health care.
No wait.... staying inside a bubble inside a safe home for all your life will mean you don't get enough Vitamin D from the sun, so that'd be our fault as well.
