It's already been done here with the Body Mass Index (BMI).
John Stossel said that when the US medical establishment officially used that as the last word on weight, about 3,000,000 Americans became overweight overnight.

The problem is, how do you decide what is self inflicted and what isn't. If you smoked form 3-5 years in your 20s and then in your 50s you get COPD, do they decide it was from smoking If you smoke, ever little sniffle you get is cause you smoked.
If 2 men aged 55 keel over from a heart attack and one of them smoked, trust me, everyone will say the smoker had the heart attack because he smoked.

Every single time it has been tried! And yet the libs will say "it will work with the right people in charge"....I question what they will do in order to keep the "right" people in charge! No clue of history.

“When the government completely controls the health care system and they deny someone treatments that are proven to be effective, they are culpable in that person’s death. And that is a pro-life issue.”
Excellent point. Thanks.

Rationing happens now with ‘health insurance’ that many cannot afford. Forget the uninsured, look at the ‘underinsured’ ... people who have insurance but policies that will not cover major illness or very little of it. That’s rationing as well.
And watch for coverages to be lowered and lowered as the population ages.
Rationing in health care seems to be a given no matter which system is chosen.
