Hm... I don’t see anything at all objectionable about this. If they’re going to go ahead and have nationalized health care, it seems reasonable to exclude people who PURPOSEFULLY get sick. It’s a bad idea to have it nationalized in the first place, but how much worse of an idea is it to subsidize people’s destructive habits? The government doesn’t exist to remove from people any responsibility in their own lives. This plan seems very reasonable if, as I said, the nationalized health care will proceed no matter what.
So anyone with ANY unsafe or bad behaviors should be excluded? Like AIDS from homosexual sex or IV drug use? Smoking and it’s attendent diseases? Eating junk food in any amount? Speeding or other traffic violations? Not aborting a problem baby and carrying it to term? Not exercising?
I understand your point but the problems can get even more complicated.
I am white and my ancestors live into their 90’s.
Blacks in the U.S. tend to have problems with hypertension and diabetes.
Can we drop them from the health plan since the odds are great they will need extra care?
No of course not.
The only answer is to not start down the road to national health insurance.
Satire... faticiousness?
Welcome to Utopia, Comrade.
