So if I decide to eat well “marbled” sirloin three meals a day does that mean I get free cholesterol medications to counteract my stupidity?

Only if and when having an orientation to habitually consuming well marbled sirloin qualifies you for "protected status," meaning insurance cannot penalize you for such (though they can based upon your BMI) and your class must be given free cholesterol medications as well as representation in hiring as a percentage.

You already subsidize such things through your health insurance and healthcare costs. We also subside sweets consumers who turn diabetic. Smokers and their cancers and lung diseases. Outdoors types with their melanomas. Births that can’t be afforded by the parents. The list is nearly infinite.

Gilead has long offered a discount card that could make at least some of their HIV medications free to patients.

Trump made it a priority of his administration to reduce and eliminate new HIV infections by making prep free and widely available. HIV is costly (and a health risk factor even for undetectable cases) and since the Left has decriminalize knowingly and deceptively infecting another person with HIV, there needs to be a counter to that injustice.

This is sound public policy. Of course not everyone can take PREP meds due to side effects. Withholding PREP won’t stop the transmission of HIV or other STIs but PREP can reduce healthcare costs overall.
