Do you feel the same way about reimbursing homes for those who live in eroding coastline neighborhoods?

Nice dodge, girly.

no answer?
Here’s mine.
If someone has a sport induced injury, and has surgery, or whatever, to heal it. That’s one thing. But once it is known that there is a direct cause:affect relationship that free ride should be modified.
There should be a point of a person’s taking responsibility for the dangerous things he does.
Why on earth should health insurance (fully) pay for a joint replacement on a heavy person when for one thing there will probably be difficulties, and in any case he caused it willfully.
The real problem is the health insurance situation as we know it. Health insurance should be just that: Insurance against catastrophy, not a freebie that takes away individual responsibility.
Don’t you think someone who would have to bear the entire cost of his knee replacement might just be a little more attentive to his bathroom scale?
