It is because of the cost to everyone else when you get screwed up and have to have everyone else take care of you.

It is the same with AIDS and other "freedom" junk

Do you support mandatory seat belt laws and a crackdown on fatty foods?

I support comparative negligence laws where a person is responsible for their actions.

If someone does not wear a seat belt, or a helmet if on a motorcycle, they should not be able to collect damages from an accident beyond fixing their dents, and at most a couple of days in a hospital.

If someone gets AIDS or has an addiction that screws them up, they should not be able to put the costs onto those who have no control over what they do.

If someone eats fatty foods, they should not be able to have the public pay for any treatment for the result.

I had to cancel the medical insurance plan for our employees because we were put into a group for rating, that included SanFrancisco. The rate made it almost as much as I was paying the employees.

Making someone in the middle of Wyoming pay the unbelievable costs of treating AIDS for people who were irresponsible is not "fair" in any case.
